Yesterdays

[Lone Wolf]

I’m comfortable with my past. My whole theory about past relationships is simple.... Past loves are gone. It's the hope each one of them inspired that's still alive ... waiting to be realized in that one special person.
There's a reason we all remember past loves.
It doesn't bother me when I speak of some past whatever-it-was ... just to offer up some experience, or to help someone realize someone else has been here before. What does hurt is when someone I am or was close to, or have had dealings with assumes I'm referring to problems in our relationship (I say her because guys don't matter to me) ... or I haven't let go of the past because I speak of those yesterdays ... with names.
My life experience spans five decades. In that timeframe, several "hers" have had their brief periods with me for bits of the journey. They're no longer a part of my life. I keep their memories, for who can really ever forget?
A lady still very near and dear to my heart ... but alas, now gone from my side, suggested that in posting over and over about girlfriends past ... even if they are all rolled into one general experience ... means I haven't let go. Anyone care to chew me out or give me some support here?

It's okay to remember the women from the past. Recently I had a dream about my very first girlfriend whom I knew over 30 years ago. The strange thing about that is that she had three hooters in the dream. So basically, even if you do manage to not think about the ex's for a good while, you'll have a dream about one or something. That's 100% normal as long as the ex's aren't interferring with the here and now.

In our lifes we all go through many things and some memories we like to store and some we liked to forget about. The human mind doesn't forget though and your past thoughts will keep running through on your downtime or down days. Whats most important though is that you are able to move on from the past since you have dated others. You just need to understand that some things work and some things don't. Life can suck but enjoy what you have now because it can be gone at the blink of an eye.

You can't make yourself forget about your past but don't reminisce about it to your new GF...we don't want to hear about stuff like that anymore than you would want to hear about her past lovers. ;) Keep the past in the past. My BF has a bad habit of saying "WE" this and "WE" that when he's talking about him and his EX and I finally told him that they aren't a "WE" anymore that he and I are a "WE" now! :rolleyes:
