I have a question about "get you"
Hello
I was wondering if this sentence below sounds awkward.
Do not let bygones(or the past) get you.
If this sentence does not sound awkward, in this sentence, what does "get you" mean?

Don't let the past bother you

The sentence does sound slightly awkward. It would be better if it was "Don't let bygones get to you". People say "Don't let it get to you" all the time. "Let bygones be bygones" is a common phrase that means the same as what you said but it can sound a bit formal. You'd probably see it more in writing than in speech.
