I used to second guess myself when I heard people saying:" You haven't moved on." or "You are still living in yesterdays." Just because I occasionally missed, mourned, or regretted a thing from my past.
It reminded me of the time when I tried to control everything, when I tried to cover and fix every little imperfection in my life. It's such a robotic thing to do, I realized it only later.
We don't live in the present always; we live in the past, present and future simultaneously all the time. We revisit the places we have stayed in for a long time and places we have never seen.
I have realized that I am allowed to think things and feel a certain way about it even when I have moved on. Moving on doesn't mean you stop feeling the pain, it means you let stuff go and choose yourself. The things you have experienced don't stop being a part of your life. You can feel a range of emotions and still choose not to let it burden you anymore. You are allowed to look back from time to time and still moved forward.
