Such words of wisdom seldom come out of my brain... but even i can certainly use these to make my life much better than the way it is now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We try to run away from our past. We try to ignore talking about the subject, try to ignore seeing those places which, according to us, "haunt" us...But actually speaking.. those haunting thoughts are not related to the place nor to the so called "talks".. those thoughts are in our minds.. and the best way to kill those is to KILL those!. We should rather face them rather than hiding from them... Some people have been actually doing this since seven years :) but haven't succeeded yet. So.. learn from others' experience and face the reality....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you hold the sand too tight in your palms... it would all slip away...
