“No matter what I do/All I think about is you/Even when I’m with my boo/Boy you know I’m crazy over you.”
("Dillema" Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland; 2002)

| Think twice before you turn around! The past is there for a reason! |
It’s catchy in a song, but honestly people this is not cute! How often have you found yourself thinking about another person while in a relationship? To get to my point, how often has this other person been someone from your past? The past has a way of catching up with us, tapping our shoulder and beckoning us back to its tightening grip. I’ve been guilty of following its lead and getting trapped in its comfortable confinement; even at the expense of a relationship. I know, I know! Simply deplorable, but I’m not the only one! As humans, we crave attention and despise the idea of being alone. Even the people who CLAIM they don’t need anybody to make them happy find themselves trapped under years of memories, surrounded by house-cats, or inundated by material things. I digress! Back to my original sentiments for the day, the past will always be tempting. When we find that our current relationship is getting a little lackluster, this is the place we usually go in our minds, our hearts and sometimes our body parts join in! SMH! We must realize that the past is there for a reason. It should not be a place we frequent when the going gets tough. Read on to find out why the past is behind us, what we should do before getting into a new relationship and how we can use our past to shape our present and future.
