I think when I started this blog it was about the future. The journey of Julia Boxer and her world of writing and the journey to get published. But over the last couple of weeks, I have felt as though my move forward has taken me back into my past. People seem to worry about going backwards and making the same mistakes over and over again. There is a great quote by Anna Maxted in the book Getting Over It:
"There's a time in your life when you have to stop looking back and start looking forward otherwise you're going to walk down the road one day and bump into a lamp-post."
Now reading her words again has made me realise that there is a different between going back to the past and going backwards. You will always be moving closer to the future and it is down to yourself whether you look at the future and long for the past. I know for me the past is important but it is the future that I am looking forward to (even though I am listening to classic 80s rock).
