I could honestly bet that if you ask anyone what their biggest fear is in a relationship, is that it would be the past repeating itself.
Someone once told you “You don’t make me happy anymore.” so you’re constantly wondering if you’re making the person you’re with now happy.
Someone once cheated on you and now you can’t stop thinking about that random person you saw comment on their picture or in the back of a snapchat.
Someone once abused you and now you flinch any time they come at you just a little too quickly.
Someone once told you that you were nothing without them, so you cling to the person you’re with because you feel you’d be nothing if they ever left you.
Someone once walked away and never gave you a reason and now it’s been 2 hours and you’re freaking out because they haven’t responded.
The truth is, our past will never repeat itself. Things may happen to us that are incredibly similar, but all things are a lesson. Our pasts were meant to teach us, guide us, and shape us into the person that we are truly supposed to be. So maybe you’re afraid of many things, but don’t let those many things ruin something great that might be sitting right in front of you. Your horrible past is NEVER going to be worth losing an incredible future.
