cryptic thoughts #32

How do you catch up with the past to let it know that you are moving towards the future when you are rather sure it has moved on already, and is perhaps a lot ahead of you?
Is it the respect you once had, that is making you feel obliged for all those memories which will perhaps never leave your side, even as you walk towards a new future?
or is it a deep sense of responsibility urging you to complete a story half finished?

You feel you cant move ahead without taking along that piece of your soul which you left behind...
and then again, in the pursuit of retrieving what is left behind, are you totally convinced that the past wont suck you back in its endless abyss?

Feeling stuck between everything and nothing as a strange kinda 'dead-weight inertia tugs at me, refusing to let go.

Is silence the only option or is it just an easy way out?

One doesn't need to have to catch up with the past to move on.If you lose a part of yourself in the past ,you have to leave it behind and go into the future without that piece.After all change is the only thing thats constant in life.So a changed person never carries any past with him/her.They change and metamorphose into something else in the future!

A part of you just dies with your past and you should let it.....

some stories are best when left incomplete...and besides in an attempt to catch up with past we loose sight of future..so maybe it is better to be a dead weight and move ahead....

I guess, silence is the best option.

Lets face it dear, there is no easy way out.

Make peace with the past, and it will stop following you to the future.

Best of Luck!

Sometimes silence gives us the best answer.
