Getting back to where you were

By Wednesday, September 24, 2014 0 No tags Permalink

Huh? That seems counterproductive. I've always understood life and time as concepts that move forward, but commonly, after a very difficult injury that changes the way one sees and interacts with the world and society, people say that instead of moving forward, one should 'get back to the way you were'. Granted, I thought this way ...
