My sister is like that with emotional scars.

I learned that living in the present, not the past, is a very important tool for living a mostly happy life. Yes, there are events that are hard, but you have to learn to let them go when they cause turmoil.

Today is a gift. That’s why is called the PRESENT.

**I learned that living in the present, not the past, is a very important tool for living a mostly happy life.**

I live in the present, and try to plan for the future, but now and then I don’t mind re-living great times of the past, such as meeting my wife one night (very impressed), and the first date the next night (permanently smitten).
