Anyone else do this too?

Do you have those memories you should just leave alone? They're like rusted artifacts stuck in the earth. And yes they're sharp and they're incapable of being moved but I keep going back and pulling on them, yanking away at the unforgiving soil of my mind, surprised I'm hurt afterwards like it could have been different this time. Why can't I leave well enough alone?

I'm not alone?

[Starrlight in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

You are not alone.

I have often done the same thing. You are definitely not alone...❤

Oh.... Can relate 100%.

And the biggest problem is that such memories are never get less vibrant or more vague throughout the years. They always stay perfectly intact in order to appear unexpectedly and shatter every positive vibe inside.

I do have those memories. So painful and full of shame that it hurts to recall them. I have to “close the box” as my friend says. And immediately distract myself to move away. This after doing a lot of “work” on them. I say to myself “you are forgiven” and move along.

You, are most certainly not alone. ♥️
