Past, Present, Future.
We all decide whether or not to accept the things we cannot change and to move on with our lives. Some of us can't. Some of us let the past control our future. To let go of something that isn't going to change, or can't change, except from what we do in the present is only as successful as the person who chooses not to use the past as a reference for future actions. There are so many of us out there like that. Such as having fears or phobias of something that happened in the past, even though the future result may be totally different than the first experienced one. Of course, I believe that we have the capability to psych ourselves out to make the second situation seem like the first one just to say, "well okay, now you see why I should avoid it, because I react this way toward it." I believe these fears can be controlled. It's all fear. Anxiety, depression, negative feelings about life is all based on fear. Why are we afraid of change? Why do we stay in our comfort zones? Because we are scared to step out of them. We are scared to make ourselves vulnerable to what lies ahead in this world. What lies ahead can't be as bad. If one is able to handle the worst of all possibilities, then no fear can come in the way of success. Training is what is needed to make this kind of achievement, however, and I believe that's what's holding most of us back in this world. Make the big step. Make your move. Don't wait for other people to do it first, or for you. Here's what I figure: If you have the worst possible situation happen to you and you feel okay, then you won't develop a fear of it happening, and the anxiety, depression, and whatever else that goes along with it will disappear subtly, out of your life. You will have no fear, but hope of what is to come in your life. Take it as it comes. Deal with what is dished out to you. That's all we have in this world, and our primary instincts is to deal with it the best way we know how. Let this be the best way. Let the way of "no worry" and "freedom of choice" set in so we can let a weight lift off our shoulders. We'll be okay no matter what happens. There's always things to do and places to see. It's like a breeze. Let your mind be like a wind passing by. Realize that sometimes people are bitches and come to terms with your skill. It's the way to go.

You are wise beyond your years. My philosophy is the same not because I figured it out at some young age. Eventually, I realized that it is the only thing that works when bad things happen. You just pick yourself up and start walking forward again. Especially when you know others are looking up to you to be strong for them. Like Elvis always said, "Take care of business."
