Looking back.

I always thought that looking back was a bad thing.
And you should not do this...
Just keep looking forward; never look back. Just keep pressing on.

But now I feel more than ever that I need to look back.

Because...

When I look back...
...that's where I see the distance I have already traveled.

There I see the paths I can now choose not to take, because I know where they've led me.
There I see all the things I have al ready accomplished.
