Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it.”
Oh perfect quote for SwanFire. Tonight some of us rewatched 301. One of my favorite moments and it fits with Slurpeez’s quote
I think that if anyone has learned from his past mistakes, it’s Neal. He’s already admitted that he let his fear of rejection stand in the way of his love for Emma. He apologized to Emma for everything, and stated his regrets. He’s told her he’s fighting for her, yet still leaving it up to her to decide what she wants. She said to Neal that it would be easier for her not to face all the pain she went through before. Yet, as Rafiki has said, you can run or learn from the past. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Emma deciding to do the very real thing of facing her past head-on and for Neal to be telling Emma how much he loves her. She’s currently cursed, but I think her losing her true memories will make it that much more poignant when Emma discovers her true memories. And I think it’s her and Neal’s dreamcatcher which will be her wake-up call.
