History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.- Mary Angelou

This struck me as an appropriate quote for those who carry excess baggage, for those who relieve their past only to experience a momentary euphoria, only to be overtaken by the disappointment that reality of the present serves.

Each stage or phase in life that we go through leaves us with memories of ups and downs, and although everyone says there is simply no purpose of dwelling in your past, many do it anyway. I feel that remembrance is inevitable, it's an innate state of mind, but grieving over it and ultimately it starts to take control and ruin you, it is then you start to lose your purpose in life. We must think anew and act anew, with those memories to serve as lessons to guide, and that it perhaps the art of emotional progress.

Hmm.

Jem's Update
Have to admit I was initally rather reluctant to club, but Louey's excitement was contagious and yeah, it was a pretty good night. Tiring though, never knew I would have the stamina to dance for 3 over hours straight. My legs cant move today.
*sits down*
Sigh.
