History Repeats Itself

Why do people do this to themselves? Why do we insist on re-opening wounds that we're trying to stitch closed? We try to move on but every little thing reminds us and cuts a little bit deeper. Eventually it can only cut so deep before it kills us. Now I'm not saying you literally gasp for breath as your life flashes before your eyes, but I am saying it's possibly to become dead inside. I think that's why we get scared, and try to hide our feelings.

When was the last time you truly said how you felt without beating around the bushes?

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.


It kind of reminds me of that nursery rhyme we use to sing, and I'm sure we've all heard it at one point or another. Yet, what sense does it make to keep chasing the weasel, and playing a monkey makes no one a winner, if you know what I mean.
It feels like I'm rambling here but I'm trying to make a point. I promise.

What I'm trying to say is that History really does repeat itself, people change, you change, and allot changes. Yet we still repeat the same old mistakes and will continue to do so. Change isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is pretty self explanatory and it is what you allow it to be. It can appear as the nightmare in the wake of your dreams or you can try and see it as the last few feet before you surface for air. Either way, it's going to have an impact, everything does. Furthermore, we're stubborn creatures, (despite claims we are the most intelligent), we're hellbent and heaven bound on hurting ourselves and bringing up things from the past, not letting go when the rope is about to snap. We repeat our mistakes and eventually we learn, just it's never soon enough. We put salt in our own wounds.

I don't know how many people have read this, and I don't know how many will, but even if my posts can make an impact in at least one person's life then I know I've accomplished what I came here to do.

All I can tell you for now, is that we need to keep our heads up high and don't give up, but be smart about it.
Try day by day to fight the future and fuck the past.
