If It Made You Happy, It Wasn't a Waste of Time

There are lots of things that happen in our lives where we look back and feel like some people or memories are a waste of time. The forbidden of talks about exes, past friends and family members that have let us down.

I am here to tell you this is not the case! You can still bring up those experiences, feelings and memories. You learnt something that they weren't right for you or simply good for you. That doesn't mean it wasn't real and you didn't feel happy. Some of my favourite memories are with people who I don’t talk to anymore. Whether that is good or bad.

They made you feel. How amazing is that? You felt love and happiness. The type of feelings that now look different than they did a couple of years ago. There is no point dwelling on the past and why it changed or how it changed but to understand and think of those times in a positive way. 

We can't help but think something is a waste when it is not sustained in our life but actually it teaches us something. That it can be found again and can be even better. In our life we want to hold on to everyone in our life but it's not realistic. We change, they change and the scope of lives change. It's natural but no one tells you this till it hits you in the face. And damn does that hurt.

It is important to remember if it made you happy it was never a waste of time. Happiness is something that can't be made, it just happens. And when it does it's the best feeling in the world and when we don’t take this in, we crave for it back. It just might not look exactly the same as it did last time.
