And just because someone is a part of you, doesn’t mean that they’re important now. The people you encounter shape the person that you are, but still, they can be let go of. You can let go of your burdens and talk about your past without it ruining your future. Don’t get too jealous when someone talks about the good times they had before you were in their life— there’s a reason that those times were put behind them, and there’s a reason that you’re now sitting beside them.
