I was going to sign up for “letting go of the past”, but I think this is more accurate- “let go of past hurts”- because you do want to remember positive things about the past and not see it as all negative. Cup half full!
People doing this are also doing these things:

i guess one way of letting it go is forgiving – myself and the one who hurt me. I have already asked for apology more than once since i have my part in the strain. But the truth is, i was the one who has really been hurt! Too deep that i am only realizing it now – the way i was treated was unfair, and the whole time i stood by to support was just taken for granted. When the ship began to sink, i was left unprepared and alone.
I hope that there will be a chance for me to open this up with this person.
This is a big 1 for me i cant let go of the past no matter how hard i try, perhaps rather than let go, maybe i should try dealing with it and coming to terms with what has happened. Though i dont see the point in chasing pain, when it chases you
i have a trendency to keep the past bottled up and then i explode… i would love to forget it and live a life full of happy memories
theres soo much that i have carried with me ever since i was really little, and its still with me. everyone keeps telling me its time to let go, but i just cant, its hard. ive been hurt too many times, but getting hurt seems to be the only thing i have left of in my life. i suppose i REALLY need to let go if thats the case. i just don’t know how to let go of some things that have made me who i am today. not that the person i am today is anyhting i want to be. ugh
By brooding over the past and its tragedies, one exhibits a form of insanity. Melancholy cannot make things right and depression will never bring the past back to life. Do not live in the nightmares of former times or under the shade of what you have missed. By constantly dwelling on the past and its happenings, you place yourself in a very frightful and tragic state of mind. Former days are gone and done with, and you benefit nothing by carrying out an autopsy over them.
Live today free from sorrow, bother, anger, jealousy, and malice. You must engrave onto your heart one phase: Today is my only day.

This is actually my new year’s resolution. I’ve been working on it and it’s looking good. It’s mind over matter really. So stop being so nostalgic and enjoy the moment. My life is great I don’t know what I’m complaining about.
