It's good you're talking about it. It should help.

Clinging to the past isn't usually a good thing - especially when it comes to difficult memories.. but it clearly sounds like you've got memories important to you.. and with the letters you have a link to that past.

Whether or not you should hang on to those memories completely depends on what you plans are going forward - because drowning yourself in the past won't get you far.

For your own benefit, it sounds like you need to focus on something. You keep thinking of the past and you must have mulled over it quite a bit.. whether or not you're able to do anything about it rather than continuously hurting yourself over it is something you need to figure out. If the answer is no - if it's too late - you need to move on. If the answer is yes - stop stalling and push yourself on otherwise you're just increasing the chance of hurting again.
