The Past is the Past

Everyone has a past and almost everyone has something that they have buried in the past, that they've hidden behind lock and key. Here's the deal with that... why hide what's in the past? Let whatever that something is under lock and key, see the daylight. People often try to hide things that will caused them to be judged but the thing about that is, you're already being judged every single day. The thing about hiding secrets and skeletons in your closet is there is always someone else who knows and has a copy of that imaginary key. Ask yourself this question... if that certain person blows back into town and threatening to expose you... would you let yourself be blackmailed or would you expose your own secret? I believe the latter would be better. You will eventually be exposed. Why let someone hold something over your head? Why let them control you? Why let them take your money and peace of mind? Don't let it happen. If there is something in your past that can cause a storm, tell your family before you are forced to face their reactions of accusations made by a stranger. At least if they know, you'll have them in your corner and they'll be a support system when the mess hits the fan. When that stranger blows into to toward, be prepared to tell them that yo won't be threatened... and the past is the past.
