One of these days, I was talking to someone about being (negatively) triggered by how this person who used to be in my nearest circle in the past behaves toward me and I heard a great response: “You know how he responds to things. Let him exist outside of you. It then won’t affect you as much as now.” And to me, it made completely sense. Let the past be the past and be more aware of what you’re building in the present.
One beautiful thought - also because this conversation happened in my native language, Portuguese: In PT, the same word (“presente”) means both “present” and “gift”. To this point, they told me: “You either suffer for the past or for anticipating the future. Look at your present and see your anxiety is gone. Take your present as such, as a gift.”
