Forget what hurt you in the past.
But never forget what it taught you.

Whether we like it or not, life goes on. Unless you are seriously considering ending it, you have no choice but to put one foot in front of the other. Yes you can grieve, wallow, or be stuck in neutral for a while, but at some point your legs begin to move. Whether they burst into a sprint or a sluggish crawl is really up to you. 

I've decided that no matter how broken my heart is and how worn down I feel, I'm keeping my head up. I do allow myself those days where all I want and need is just to be negative and tormented.. But I want to work hard at looking past the "right now". I am young. There will be more love in my life. I will find a great job and make my financial situation work. I have the guts and the desire. So here's to picking my pessimistic soul off of the ground, and moving it onward. One step at a time.
