All alone in the moonlight
I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days)
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
⭐Barbara Streisand
I have never seen the play or listened to the lyrics of "Memories" but I am living the above on a Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly basis to bring back some normalcy to my life and try to course correct the wrongs I have done in the past.
Not knowing why I was expressing these certain "memory" behavours throughout the last 4 decades has led me on a road to where:
👉A Smell,
👉A Taste,
👉A Sound.
👉A Song.
....delivered a flashback that slapped me in the face that brought me back to a point in the past.
When one of the 3 above come to the forefront one of my several ticks (swearing, weird body movement, interesting noises) will come out and play defence; its your turn to figure out which one it is; as these ticks try to protect me from future harm.
I wish Doc Brown from Back to the Future was around to help me out but he is not a connection of mine on LinkedIn.
☀️Yes, the goal in life is to look ahead and forget the past, but these flashbacks come with speedbumps, to which I can accept and manoeuvre around.
☀️Yes, I regret many things I did in the past but I continue to get past them by extracting lessons.
☀️Yes, I would like to correct them as I hurt others, but the past is the past and all I can do is reach out and and have a coffee chat to explain my prior actions as I was not perfect back then or am I now.
But with a BIG B .... life goes on and I know the flashbacks are there to keep me grounded and on my continued MentalHeath Journey.
