Carrying emotional baggage from past relationships into new ones is like trying to run a race with weights tied to your ankles – it slows you down and holds you back from reaching your full potential. It’s important to take the time to unpack and process your emotions before starting something new. This doesn’t mean forgetting about past relationships entirely but rather learning from them and letting go of any lingering hurt or resentment. By doing so, you can approach future relationships with a lighter heart and a clearer mind.
