Nothing is accidental. The people who are no longer a part of your life are left where they belong – in the past. Their absence is not a matter of debate or question. It is a fact. The past is a place for closed stories, not for reliving what no longer matters.
When stories end, they end for a reason
Nothing you drag from the past into the present will improve what you have now. Those who are no longer here are no longer part of your journey because they are simply no longer relevant. Their absence is not a loss, but a space for growth and new opportunities.
The past is not a burden
It is the archive of your life, where stories, people, and moments are stored after they have played their part. They remain there because they have served their purpose. Anything you try to pull back from there would be empty, meaningless, and worthless.
The people who stayed in the past are no longer important. Their departure was necessary so that you could free yourself from everything that was no longer in line with your path. If they belonged in your life now, they would be here. Since they are gone, it is clear that their place is in the past.
Every decision, every conclusion, and every departure had its reason. Nothing that has happened requires further attention. The past is over. What matters is the present and the future. If things or people are left behind, it is because they are no longer relevant to your story.
Those who are in the past are where they need to be. They are not worth keeping in mind, because their absence does not leave a void, but creates space for what is truly important. The past is a teacher who shapes us, not a place to return to.
Why are they there? Because their time is up.
Because the ties were broken, because the moments were closed, and because the stories that belonged to those times do not fit with today's reality. The past does not need apologies, questions, or analysis. Everything that is left there has a reason. Your task is simple: let it stay there.
They are in the past for a reason. Lessons have been learned, chapters closed. The past has its place. The past is not the present, and it is not the future. End of story.
