I'm just going to forget 2013 and erase it from my memory....

typical, always running away from your problems

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO ERASE A MEMORY...IT'S SOMETHING THATLL BE IN EXISTENCE FOREVER. IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AND THAT U CAN NEVER CHANGE.

Pretending like things didn't happen or exist is living in candy land. Learn from your mistakes. Confront yourself on what you could have done differently. Also look at the positives too.

I'm 30 years old. I've already learned enough in my life. There is such thing as "OVER-LEARNING".
I'll give you three good examples...
Example #1: Imagine that I am a salesman about to knock on somebody's door. The person on the other side of the door has already decided that they are absolutely NOT going to sell to me. My boss has already decided for me what houses I have to sell to. So I have to knock on his door anyway. I knock on his door, try to sell him the item and he says no. THERE IS NOTHING TO BE LEARNED FROM SUCH EXPERIENCE. No need to analyze it. Our time is limited in this life, and YOU SHOULD NOT OVER-ANALYZE THINGS THAT ARE ULTIMATELY OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. Better to save the brain space for more useful ventures.
Example #2: When Jerry Tarkanian was the coach of the UNLV Running Rebels in their prime, he used to often cut off practice after JUST 30 MINUTES! Why? No need to overload the players with excess information and work. They went at it so hard for 30 minutes, he felt the value of their 30 minute practice was better than most teams 3 hours of practice. Also a lot of baseball players, hitters, don't like too much information from the batting coach. They say it slows their reaction time. They would rather go to the plate with a clear head and just react to the ball.
Example #3: This comes from a Zen proverb. Two monks who had sworn themselves to a life of celibacy and isolation from women were walking down a path. There was a stream in the middle of the path and a woman with a fancy dress who could not cross without damaging her clothes. So one monk lifted her up in his arms and carried her across. The monks continued walking, when a couple hours later the other monk commented... "I can't believe you carried that woman." The monk replied, "I carried her for just a moment, you are still holding onto her hours later". MORAL OF THE STORY IS TO KEEP AN EMPTY MIND AND NOT CARRY EXCESS STRESS.
The funny thing about this is if I was making another nostalgic post about one of my favorite past memories everybody would of posted saying... "MOVE ON INFANT! FORGET IT! YOUR STUCK IN THE PAST!" lol
