Finding the Good...

I look at life and I find no excitement for the future because of the things I miss from my past. Those time are gone and we are just supposed to look forward in excited anticipation to the future and what it holds. I cannot, however, look forward to future excitements because the pain of letting go of good times far out weighs the good times themselves. Why do we have to be shown what is good only to have to give it up?
