It might be tomorrow. It might happen today.

So rather than denying or stuffing your past, go ahead and look at it, but without judgment. Look at it, express it, admit it, acknowledge it, accept it, and move on.

If you don't, you will continue to draw to you the very events that you are still resenting or regretting.
