Day 24 - Something you've learned

I've learned several things throughout life.  Some are things that people have told me, others are things I've had to learn the hard way.  The hard way is not my favorite but that's usually how it happens because I don't always listen to what other people tell me.  Something I've learned recently is that you have to move on from things.  You can't dwell on the past or what was.  You have to make the best of what you've got and live in the present.  It's unhealthy and unsatisfying to dwell on things and live in the past.  My boyfriend, Josh, is the person that taught me this.  He has been trying to tell me this for a really long time because I could never move on from anything.  If something bad happened, I couldn't think about or concentrate on anything else.  It aggravated him so much because it brought me down.  I wouldn't be the person I wanted to be.  I would hold whatever happened against whoever did it and be mad until the next bad thing happened.  Recently I've realized that he's right.  Things are going to happen all the time that I don't like, but it's out of my control.  I have to accept it and move on with other things in life.  There is no need in wasting my time on something that isn't really going to affect my future or that doesn't really matter.  I've just got to live life and enjoy what is happening NOW.
