Burn or Accept

I think it's strong to run from the pain that resurfaces instead of face it. I am starting to think maybe this not the best idea anymore. The more I run, the more these feelings I stuff deep inside kick me in the butt later. While it may help to burn letters and pictures to move on, it is not a healthy getting on. Again back to confronting myself--traveling inward to fix outward problems. Why is it that that past can have such a strong impact on the present moment? Acceptance of the people who have touched and shaped me could be the answer. Accept and move on instead of burn and move on. Never forget how you got to this moment.
