Putting the skeletons back in the closet

All of us have an event, a memory from the past that regularly sneaks out and starts stalking us like a shadow. Maybe it is an old relationship that has gone wrong that comes back to haunt when you think about all the happy times that you have had with this person. Maybe it is something really painful, that you have been taken advantage of in any kind of way, that comes back to stalk you when you least want it to. Or maybe it is something that you yourself decided to leave behind even when it hurt, and it haunts you when you think back on your decision with the question "what if?".

It is very easy to think about all the good things that existed in a relationship; all the times you cuddled while watching a movie together, everytime you held hands in town and made all the people around you jealous or all the times you stayed up until 4 am just talking about anything that came to your minds. But when memories like this comes back to haunt you, remember that there is a reason why this person is not in your life today. Think about all the awful things that led your break up and... put the skeleton back in the closet!
If a terrible memory from your past comes back to stalk you and you feel that no matter how fast you run it always catches up with you. Turn around, stare this pain right into it's eyes, remind yourself about all the good things that you have in your life; family, friends, school, work.. whatever it is that makes you happy and... put the skeleton back in the closet!
"What if" are the two words that often cross people's minds. Have you ever decided to leave something or someone behind you even though it hurt? Maybe a boyfriend/girlfriend or a friend that you felt was always bringing you down and you turned your back, clenched your teeth together a walked away. But when you thought about them you always wondered what it would be like if you still were together or still were friends. Instead of remembering all the happy times, look back at all the actions that forced you to make that painful decision and... put the skeleton back in the closet!

Whenever and whatever comes back to haunt you, no matter if it's a lost love, change of work, painful memories or anything else that you have left behind and decided to never think about again... When these memories come back to make you doubt your decisions take a look at the past and remember why you decided to walk away and... PUT THE SKELETNS BACK IN THE CLOSET!
