Don’t trip over your own two feet
looking back and running from the past,
just keep looking straight ahead,
walking through today and into tomorrow

When it comes to love, it seems that many of us want to hold on . . . whether it is good or bad.
When I ran across this quote, it brought a question to mind.
Why do we hold on to past loves?
I’m the most guilty of doing this. In most recent times, I held on to two former loves who ventured back into my life like they were some kind of trophy. Finally, the thought that I am way too loyal for my own good is starting to sink in.
It seems to me that even if it was a bad relationship, the tendency is to hold on and make it work . . . I’ve done it all my life! Is it that fear of failure? Make the bad relationship good before moving on?
Maybe it is the comfort level of what is known . . . even if the known is not good. We form attachments and emotions for someone and it is difficult to break off the relationship bond, especially when there is a “relationship history” involved.
What about the “revenge thing?” I swear both of these guys came back into my life just to hurt me. Aren’t some of us guilty of that too? Attempt to hurt the one who hurt us at some point in our lives?
Hopefully I will learn to stop tripping over my feet! Can you relate to any of these relationship problems?
