Finding
and beginning a new relationship can
be difficult. It
is particularly difficult when we
are carrying baggage from past
relationships.
We
are told that it is not good to
carry past relationships into the
current ones.
You
know that.
But how do you free yourself
from that which is a part of you?
You don't! Yet you can
unpack the baggage. You can
take a look at the pain, guilt,
fear.
You can look it dead in the face and
see what it is, for what it is --
the past.
It's over.
Without
shame, without blame, you must look
at what happened and know it does
not have to happen again. It
is only when you refuse to look,
refuse to release, that you will
have experiences added to your
baggage collection.
There
is another point you often forget
when moving into a new relationship:
No matter how painful the past has
been, you made it through.
