Since our mind draws its very life force from its capacity to memorize and remember things it is inevitable that we will time and time again be confronted by recollections of our so-called past and foregone experiences.
However there are two fundamentally different ways to deal with the power of memory and ability to remember one's past. The one is to view ones prior experiences as a life-restricting weight one has to carry, one that gets heavier by each passing day. The other is to see your past experiences as a wealth of treasures, which are adding to your beauty, rendering your life richer and fuller by each passing moment.
If each experience you make in life is likened to a sea-shell containing a pearl hidden inside, I would say onto you:
Turn yourself into a pearl-seeker and collector, who discards the empty shells once he has found and extracted its hidden treasure. Do not hold on to the emptied shell for even though some of them might look enticingly beautiful and appear light weighing, eventually they will make you feel their load and in occupying your hands hinder you from picking up new ones that are still bearing a pearl. And the pearls you are finding inside the shells of experiences may differ greatly in size, colour and hue, may prove difficult at times to extract from their encumbering shells but in all instances they are always going to constitute a lesson of (self-)love and (self-)awareness.
