Yes, I get what you're saying. We all have someone/something that once meant a lot for us, but then again, everything comes and goes. Whether you want to move on or not is completely up to you. I truly believe you just found another excuse.

As harsh as it might sound, I think you're being selfish for not leaving the past in the past. Why? Because you based your definition of happiness on something/someone, thinking only about fulfilling your own needs. You probably were younger when all of that happened, I won't judge you for doing that, though; after all, that's human nature, but now that you're older, you decide whether you want to take control of it or not. Yes, it might take a long time to recover from whatever you've been through, there's no doubt about it, but having a positive mindset is really helpful during dark times, thing I'm pretty sure you don't have at the moment. Then again, I won't judge you for that either.

Whatever happens in our lives become lessons that are meant to help us grow as human being, but this happens if you opt to have a positive attitude. Once my parents die, thing I personally don't want to happen, I'll have two options: 1) feel hopeless, blame the world or a "supreme being" for taking them away and hurting me during the process, feel empty and keep that attitude until death knocks my door, or 2) be thankful for having had them in my life, as part of my own being, knowing they'll still be there with me. (Because after all, they were part of my circumstances, which molded my way of thinking, and therefore who I am.)

Anyway, those are the conclusions I came up with. As I've stated many times before: I'm not judging you as a human being, I'm judging your actions, which (according to what I believe in), won't help you at all to overcome your depression.

I might have mixed some terms... Sorry if I leave you confused with something.
