Do you think it is possible to start over with a T? To change directions even when you've worked together a while, have serious things going on?

I woke up feeling like I wanted to look forward not backward, to try to move toward the future instead of looking at the past, what has already happened and can't be changed.

I took some time out to read, found this quote in by a poet: "Only one step and my deep misery would be beatitude." I'm not sure what it means really, but it hit me somewhere inside.

I guess the Buddhist/Taoist leanings I used to have tell me that in suffering there is an end to suffering, things change, the only constant is change.

Therapy is supposed to be about change, but why do we try to change the past? Seems obvious, but now it's really clear how impossible that is. I mean the past forms us and has to be covered to some extent, but it doesn't have to take up all the time and energy.

I'm going to try to bring this up in therapy and see what happens.
