I'm not what I think I am. (57)
leo,
I don'r have the years on me that you do...though I feel a century or more alot...
My feeling is this;
We do not get past it. We carry it with is, and embrace every experience we've had. Like a patched up, well worn coat. It is all of us. Every smile, tear, shout, and whisper. Every slap, touch, and kiss...
Nothing should be forgotten. When we do, powers that be remind us of just how small we are, and that is a nasty lesson most times.
Hugs to you.

Paws I cant imagine you hurting anyone deliberately,so please be gentle on yourself.We do not live in a perfect world and best laid plans and intentions can go astray.I like to think we can get rid of baggage and most of us strive for that, but deep pain,insecurities,etc often reappear when least expected.When this happens to me I try to work out why and how to better deal with it in the future. Do any of us REALLY know ourselves.

Each turn we take, Each new path we choose, Each and every decision we make adds another bullet to the chamber Leo.
Everyone owns a full metal jacket just waiting to be fired.
When the trigger is pulled we hope there is a misfire, however this doesn't always happen. When the bullet gets set free someone is going to be hurt.
Look back on your life and understand where you went wrong. Deal with whatever happened because it is now in your past. In your past is where it belongs.
Make peace with yourself and then make peace with the one(s) that your bullet hit.
There is no changing the past but there can be peace found in understanding what went wrong.

"Do any of us REALLY know ourselves" ? We often think we do. I have my doubts. Paws

I'm not blaming myself or anyone else. Neither can I hang the blame on the past. Lessons learned day by day. Growing up. I'm 60, 42, 15, 55, 5. Tonight I'm 28. Paws

Don't you feel we can be at peace with ourselves and carry with us?
I liked your analogy, though.

I have wondered this myself. Sometimes, I think I have it all figured out, then some one says something that makes me change my mind. But then again how we see ourselves in the mirror,is not always how others see us.

When we look in the mirror, we are us. All of us. Different mirrors, same us. Paws

I have no words to give credence to this statement...
Therefore I will quote the monkey from lion king.

Absolutely we can be at peace with ourselves and still carry the baggage from the past.
It is just when the past comes back to haunt us like Leo has just gone through that the peace and solice must be found before moving on.

Paws, we All have bagage..it's called our History in life...it shapes us in positive ways and shapes us in negative ways...it makes us stronger in some things and more vulnerable in other things...You're a Very Adored Gentleman here on CS..so you may modestly say you're not what you think you should be or even what you thought you were, but the CS Panel...ranks you at least a 10
