Have you diligently worked to overcome your past, emerging from the darkness into a place of deliverance? Do you find yourself in a positive space in the present? However, there may be individuals in your life who resist allowing you to become the person you aspire to be. They anchor you to the same old house and street of your youth, incessantly revisiting your past actions and behaviors that brought shame and guilt.
Despite your progress, these people remain fixated not only on their past but on yours as well. You yearn to tell them, “I don’t live there anymore! I have moved on, embracing the present and cherishing the person I have become.”
What If You Are Living in the Past?
But what if you haven’t moved on? What if you find yourself still dwelling in your past, trapped in the grip of shame and guilt, unable to overcome the hurts you may have inflicted on others? The reminders are constant, whether from those who articulate them directly or the mere sight of familiar faces that transport you back to the past like an unwelcome dream. You can’t honestly declare, “I don’t live there anymore” because, in reality, you are still dwelling in the past.
