But here it is anyway. Things can get much more worse.... And onday you may even look at the time right now and wish you could go back to it. One of my best friends who I have known since I was 9 and was more like a brother (A good one) has just disappeared. I know why he is not talking to me... He has just had a kid and is being controlled by his new partner... It sucks but its life. Instead of looking into the past, why not look for new friends... The past is the past... Look to the future. I know this will not make you feel at all better… But here it is anyway.

I have never seen that movie or heard of it before. However, I title is intriguing. Is the past meant to be forgotten? I don’t know.

The best thing you can do... or rather, the only thing you can do is try to focus on yourself. Just be with yourself. Happiness can only come from you. Other people can only enhance the happiness you hold within yourself. They can't create it from scratch. If it ever seems like someone is doing just that, it's a palliative sort of happiness, something that can go up in smoke without a moment's notice. In regard to whether or not the past is meant to be forgotten, well... I don't know. Have you ever seen a movie called 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'? If you haven't, you should. I wrote something inspired by it a while ago and I think it applies to your question. If you wanna have a look, here's the link: http://www.hirideyo.com/journal/iris/2007/08/19/remembering_and_forgetting :D I’ve been through something similar to what you’re experiencing recently.
