Everybody has a past. It might not be all good and one might rather try to forget some things. What is important though is we learn from our mistakes and consider it as part of the journey to reach what is best for each of us.

The past should not control us from enjoying the present and in looking forward to a good future. The past should not be a hindrance or an obstacle.

In my case, I was traumatized before by not so good relationships and even betrayals in the past. It made me distance myself to everyone because of the fear that it might possibly happen again. It sometimes made me paranoid and afraid of close and intimate relationships. It was not healthy and it was affecting my interpersonal relationships. It took awhile before I let go of the fear. It took good people and a great girl to make me want to risk again. This time it was worth the risk. This time I have opened myself again to others and made my relationships stronger and better.

A past should not unfairly affect the present and the future. One bad event or some villainous people should not make one generalize that everyone and everything can and will be like that. Let us all look at the goodness in each person. Let us just be wary and careful of how we deal with various types of people.

Whatever I have experienced before made me stronger and a better person who can and is willing to face any challenges that might come my way. It actually helped me deal with things today and what possibly or unexpectedly will happen tomorrow.

Para sa kauswagan sang Syudad sang Iloilo, UGYON Kabataang Ilonggo, UGYON Iloilo. Ilonggos are worth working and fighting for.
