There are many ways to be HAUNTED, not all of them supernatural. From PHOTO albums to love LETTERS, the memory of bad CHOICES, broken PROMISES, lost LOVES, and shattered DREAMS can often LINGER far longer than the GLOW of satisfaction from our GREATEST accomplishments. 

Indeed, the MOST frightening ways to be haunted may be in the many ways WE HAUNT OURSELVES.

WE don't miss what we NEVER had ...

BUT we miss terribly things we ALMOST had ...

And we miss things we USED TO have most of all ...

Though we HOPE and PRAY for our RELATIONSHIP, our LOOKS, and our LIVES to improve, having MORE also mean having more to LOSE.

But the thoughts we try to deny, take a toll upon our lives... We struggle on in depths of pride, tangled up in single minds

We are often so distracted by internal war between what we want to do and what we have to do that we overlook what we need to do. Not need in the sense of an obligation to others, but in the sense of a compulsion to preserve our own sanity.

When doing what others think we should do comes into direct conflict with what our heads or hearts demand, it's time to choose whether our top priority is to please others or to please ourselves.

Holding on to someone you know you have to let go is not just a way to delay the inevitable for them, but for yourself, as well.

It protects you from having to make the transition you are about to impose until you are good and ready. Like canceling on out an out-of-town guest you've been longing to see, but never quite had time to plan for, it is the convenient, easy way out-for you.
