moving on?

how can you tell that you've totally moved on from something? what do you actually feel? what are the signs that you have moved on? how do you really know that you have moved on?

in my humble opinion, i think, at some degrees,  we haven't actually really moved on from something. you see, the thing that we want to move on will forever be stuck at the back of our minds. try as we might to forget it, the memories are still there. the only that disappears bit by bit are emotions. emotions that cloud us in the past will slowly be eroded by time. but even then, at some specific time, those feelings will emerge again. 

have i truly moved on from something? no. i don't think so. i am a thinker. whatever significant things that happened to me in the past i will not forget easily. 

i don't know how to handle the past that well. those feelings involved during the past they like to make a surprise entrance. i need to learn how to control those feeling. if i can't, i don't know if i could ever live properly. they say time heals the pain. to some extend that is true but how much it actually heals the pain no one knows. even me. i don't really know how much pain will go away as time passes.

moving on is not easy but it gets easier day by day.

p.s: busy week ended but i don't feel like the burden have been totally lifted up just yet.
