I keep thinking about someone I shouldn't. But I'm starting to realize it's those thought patterns aren't genuine, but merely a symptom of lonely feelings in the now that bring old things long washed away to mind. In realizing that's the case I'm acknowledging that it's ok to think about the past, just not to stew on it or obsess with it. So I let it leave my mind as easily as it enters, without depressing my mood or causing anxiety. I just let it go.

I'd call that progress.
