In the next phase.
Sometimes, we keep looking at those bad things we did and forget about what we have to appreciate. I think it's time to accept the past and let the new begin!!

Life is sometimes full of torment. A heavy secret, a painful past, or even trauma can freeze us in a moment in time,even as the world moves on. Pills, therapy, alcohol, or even drugs: these are substances we consume not to soothe ourselves, but to forget. Or rather... to inflict endless pain upon ourselves, reminding us just how weak and cowardly we were to give up before even trying. We also make decisions that drive us to flee at all costs from our responsibilities, our feelings, and our memories. Memories that, despite what we might believe, eventually resurface one way or another. Running far away, changing one’s name or lifestyle_none of this can erase the thoughts that haunt us from within, like ghosts plaguing our wretched lives. Yet, it is not for lack of trying. We do everything we can to convince ourselves to forget it all. To forget... that word keeps cropping up in our daily grind a routine that repeats itself endlessly. Waking up every day fearing judgment for past mistakes, and falling asleep dreading that the same terror will haunt our dreams. So, what can be done to put an end to it? What, for heaven's sake, is the solution that could finally bring us joy? Is there a remedy on earth capable of breathing fresh air into our suffering? Some believe in destiny. Others speak of divine intervention (God, spirits). But they all say the same thing: looking back, we realize that everything was already in place, and all that was missing was our consent for the change to happen. If we dwell too long on the past, we end up forgetting that the present is within our reach. Yet, gaining perspective makes us realize that the goal is not to erase that part of ourselves, but rather to embrace it—allowing the light that was once ours to shine again. I am not saying this to suggest you should simply accept everything—far from it. But in life, every measure of suffering brings its own measure of solace. Unfortunately, by dwelling too much on the negative, we end up obscuring the beauty that lies within it. It took time, but that time taught me one thing: to turn toward the future, we must first face our past, for only then do we truly decide to move forward.

The Heartbeat of the Economy: Understanding the Simple Transaction
The economy works like a simple machine. Many people find economics complex, and there is often little agreement on how it works. This can make the subject feel intimidating or inaccessible. The reality, however, is that the entire economic system is built from "a lot of simple transactions that are repeated over and over again a zillion times."
Focusing: When Words Alone Aren't Enough
Focusing, developed by Eugene Gendlin, is an embodied practice of self-reflection that helps meaning emerge from the body rather than the thinking mind. At its core is the felt sense—the vague, bodily knowing that exists before clear thoughts or emotions. By staying with this “murky edge” in a nonjudgmental way, we allow clarity to form naturally instead of forcing answers. Unlike meditation or cognitive insight, Focusing invites us to listen to the whole of our experience—mind, body, and intuition together. As we slow down and attend to what the body is signaling, what once felt stuck can begin to shift. This process often leads to a felt shift: a subtle release that opens new perspectives and ways of moving forward. Focusing reminds us that our bodies often know long before we can explain—and that depth, clarity, and change emerge when we are willing to listen.
