When people change, don’t bring up their past.

(fanfic in Harry’s POV)

This is something I’ve learnt.

I see my dad everyday and I see how much he has changed. He is not the same person who hurt me. He is gentle and loving now. He has changed a lot and my heart goes out for him.

My mom has learnt a lot too. Whatever she did was unknowingly and out of too much care and love. Sometimes too much care is also not okay.

Whatever happened in the past was just something that can be overlooked is what I’ve learnt. I used to be in so much trauma up until few months back that I used to shout at them for everything they did to me.

Now I’ve learnt that shouting and crying can’t fix things or even change the past. If the pattern is broken and they are really not doing anything now, what’s the use to bring up the past?

Let the past be in the past and focus on today. Because of God’s blessing we are at a better place today than we have been all our life. There is nothing that is majorly wrong as well.

So why waste such a beautiful day that God has blessed us with by bringing up the past?

I don’t really know if the people in my past are also different people now because we are in different universes. I don’t know anything about them or even what they are doing or what they feel about me right now. I know nothing. Sometimes I think, they are sorry. They must be, but I can’t mend those broken bridges because somethings are better left in the past. They haven’t reached out to me and tried to mend things too.

Some people are better left in some other universe you know. It’s kinda okay not knowing.
