A Lifetime a Dozen

This is a first for me.... why you ask?  I have been asking myself this question for the past two hours. I have typed out one to many idea firsts, over thought the subjects in question, scratched it all out only to try again.... Here's to one of many firsts....

 How do I start this? -- Topic #1 - The Overlook of our Lives



Having taken the time to sit down and look at a past that has many ups and downs, I often wonder what events have taken place to get me to where I am today. What moments have I subconsciously overlooked.. memories that have forged my path forward, feelings that still linger from a time on another path in my life.
Many would say "keep looking forward, don't dwell on the past." Although, it is there that I was cast, out of the storms of my past have I grown into the individual that I am today. Constantly changing with every new memory, experience, every thought...which in turn, becomes a part of my ever revolving past. 
 So I say to you, do not overlook the past and dismiss it without a second thought. It holds together the building blocks of your future. Be proud of your insecurities, your scars, your fears...  Without them, you cannot stand tall and proclaim "Here I am! I am strong; I am worthy of the future that I build for myself!"
