Digging up old skeletons
Digging up old skeletons will only open up old wounds that will just come back to sting you in the end. It’s not fun to go back through all the emotions that come with our past, the best option is to not open up the past.
Digging up past skeletons
I would prefer to keep them buried as thats where they belong.
Skeletons
Deal with the past so it can’t haunt you later.
PAST is PAST
I think you should leave them in the closet…. unless by doing such can bring you peace of mind.
Past
Depends on how big they are.
Digging up past skeletons
It depends. It could be hurtful or it could bring clarity to a situation.
Digging happens...
No matter what you do, buried skeletons generally don’t stay put. If you can’t cremate the bastards, you need to just be honest and face the consequences. Whether you like it or not, the only real choice you have is when you choose to do so…not if.
PAST SKELETONS
You can bury skeletons, but you must always keep in mind that what’s done in the dark has the possibilty of coming out in the light. I do think that if those past skeletons can be hurtful to someone, that you need to ensure that they remain buried deep.
The Past
Every time that a situation surfaces from the past it cause old wounds to be reopened. This is never a good thing, take relationships old transgressions never go away and they fester until its to late. Bringing these up repeatedly only serves to cause more damage to the relationship and if the “hidden” transgression is revealed there are usually consequences that have to be dealt with. So the fact that the past is called the past should serve as a reminder leave the past where it is if its forgotten leave it so if it’s buried let it stay there if its just not talked about why bother. Leave things alone.
How do I feel about digging past
Past is past, why dig it
