That is a big question, deservers more but here's my $0.02.

We all have memories and feelings (good and bad) from the past. Those bad
feelings we get sometimes from the past are there to help us on our way to
where we are going, where we want to be.

Go ahead and take the steps it takes to get to where you want to be. There is
no shame in that.
