When I Look In Your Eyes, I See Me

It’s taken me a long time to get here, and I’m still growing and practicing. To get where you may ask? It’s to get to the point where I feel a connection to all.

But it can be a bit destructive to the quality of your life if you are constantly thinking about, and therefore living in, your past. It becomes a heavy burden, carrying around some memories which still stir up emotions in the present moment. Such emotions can be guilt, resentment, fear, grief or anger.
