The past lives in you as memories, but as memories in themselves
are not a problem. In fact, it is through memories that we learn
from the past and from the past mistakes. It is only when memories,
that is to say, thoughts about the past begin to takes you
completely that it become a burden. You perceive
this little story as a true index of your current
situation, of yourself. But it isn't. It is already
over.
You just need some time to recover from it.
