I finished reading the book "A stolen life" today. It's actually a memoir of a girl who was kidnapped and had her life stolen away for 18 years before she got reunited with her family.
I came across a metaphor mentioned in the story which was particularly interesting.
"Give yourself 2 candles. Let one of them represent your past and the other, your present. Light up the one that you would like to start or deal with today."
"What happens when you light up the same candle everyday? It's going to melt more and more and will become duller in light. Deal with your past, no matter how difficult it is because soon, you'll realise that it's slowly extinguishing itself becoming something that's been melted."

LOL nice and inspiring verse! but i think should forget about the past and not hold on to it. that's why shouldn't light up the "past" candle.
