Note to self about second-guessing the past

[sskroeder]

There has been moments in my life where I've run away from trouble - times where I chose the easy way out. Times where I balked out...

And in idle moments and sometimes when i dream I'm reminded of these, wishing I'd chosen differently - that I'd been stronger, wiser or just less lazy.

But I need to realize that these moments are in the past. And that I did what at that time felt was right or even possible.

I'm stronger now but that cannot change the past - and it shouldn't... And I need to come to terms with that.

Just saying... :-)

Isn't it nice to get some perspective on the past?

It makes things MAKE SENSE!

I guess being wiser than your former self is enough :)

When I was a kid of ten I sat myself down in front of a mirror and talked to myself. I spoke of what I want out of my life and what I was going to do about it, a map of sorts.

Well I guess there should be a point here somewhere huh.

One of the things I told myself is to never do anything I would regret. I never thought I had while doing them, but in looking back, aYUP I do have regrets. So don't be rough on your self. Just keep moving.

I constantly have to fight off the thoughts of regret. I consciously tell myself that all the decisions I made in the past helped to form the person I am today, and that I love the person that I am. Except when I don't. Yes, since I can't go back I only have the choice to go forward and when I make the exact, same mistakes as in the past I know that I chose to do so for a reason.

Post again soon :)
