moving on, moving along

when we talk about physical baggage left behind by past relationships, most ostensibly in the form of children, i think it quite obvious that no one really moves on. but when it comes to emotional baggage; things like lessons learnt etc, do people move on or do they simply move along?

i'd say no one really moves on. moving along would be more appropriate because to say that one has moved on seems to suggest that one has forgotten about the past experiences.

alright, maybe some people do move on, only to retrace those steps.

meaning some ple fuckitup AGAIN, getting hurt, etc in the process because they don't learn from past mistakes when they simply 'move on' instead of 'moving along'.

about baggage. whether you move on on move along, they remain. albeit behind. or in front. but that's another story.

i think getting rid of baggage is the tougher but more resolute solution.
