Cleaning out the closet

I am starting a major clean-up process---not in my clothes closet, but within the closet of my mind and of my heart. Old ghostly things from the past that try to creep out every now and then, shall finally be put to rest.

I have decided that to keep moving forward, I must stop looking back. There is no future in the past. The past is dead and it is time for a proper burial. Bad memories from my childhood, hurtful words and actions from friends and even family---they have no place here, where I dwell now. 

There are scars within me. But they remind me that the wounds are closed and I am healed.
