Forward, into the past

Actually, this is about moving forward, but I couldn’t resist that title. But first…

I am not the man I used to be.

Don’t worry, this isn’t really going to be one of those posts. In fact, I’m trying to move on. But, I am not the man I used to be and therein lies the source of the dilemma. I am not the man I used to be and I need to stop trying to be who I used to be but while I need to accept who I am now I also need to keep trying to get better so I need to face who I am in order to get past where I was but also move beyond where I am today. I am also looking to maintain my standing as a master of the run-on sentence.

I need to be who I am now and stop trying to reclaim the past. Then I can move on from here – which is really where you always start from anyway.
