Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Why go somewhere else and start up all over again?
You learn from your mistakes, or you go backward. I'm the kind of person who wants to move forward.
You decide that you don't want to go backward. You want to go forward. But sometimes, going 'backward' isn't really going backward, it's actually moving forward.
So we can't go backwards, we can only go where the evolutionary trajectory is taking us and attune our ideas about ourselves and our existence to that course.
I never like to think about going back; I only look forward.
Because travel has always been such a vital part of myself and so essential to who I am, I have made the decision to continue to put myself back out into the world. And that's not an easy decision to make.
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?
Sometimes, when you live a life at such a wild edge, an extreme edge of experience, you can come back into the world - if you come back at all - with some essence from that experience that people find useful.
The fact is that you don't want to be away forever, but you want to lead a normal life.
Looking back isn't going to help you. Moving forward is the thing you have to do.
