The Do Over

I once tried to completely forget someone.

Mistakes cannot be erased.

I went on as though he never existed.

We must learn from them so we do not repeat them.

Many years later, I remembered.

I finally realized what I was trying to forget was my mistake in handling our relationship.

This was the lightbulb moment. The Aha!

I finally understood I wasn't running from him.

I ran away from all the pain that I had caused because I couldn't live with all that regret, all that guilt.

I then realized, you can't erase the mistake until you solve the problem.

Once we learn how to solve the problem, we can move on.

Now that I am ready to face my mistake, I am ready

For a Do Over.

I let many years pass before I learned this one lesson.

It seems like a huge waste.

That is the larger lesson.

Reincarnation, the school for unwilling students.

We start with a clean sheet and make mistakes that we still haven't learned from.

One day, we will move on.
