Our Past

Everybody has one, and some can be something they're proud of, and some it brings back painful memories. Everybody's past is unique in their own way, no two are the same. Even if you were to look at twins there would be big differences in their lives, which creates them and their personality. If it weren't for our past we wouldn't be where we are now. For some of us where we are right now isn't the best and we blame it on our "mistakes" in the past. If we really consider each event we wont see mistakes in our life, just a life changing event. These events lead us on the journey called life. A mistake is defined as an error of action, but is it really an error if it makes us who we are? Sure we beat ourselves over the past but in the long run that one event might not even matter. And if it does, there is always the present to fix it. There is no such thing as mistakes in our past, our "mistakes" are just choices that someone doesn't agree with. It's a matter of opinion. Now this doesn't mean that we should take people's opinions on our past lightly, we should review them and make sure to change what we did for this person and never do it again, especially if they are someone that is close to you. You can't change the past, but you can change what you do right now. If you wronged someone go back and give them a hug, apologize, and make the future opposite of what the past is. Then when the future becomes the past you can look back and realize, you changed your past, and it's increasingly getting brighter. The feeling of this spreads a smile across your face and nothing feels better than looking on something and being proud of it. Being proud of who you are and what you've done, is one of the best feelings a human can ever experience. So strive for the feeling, fix your past, and smile at what you've done. Anybody is capable of reaching this point, it's only a matter of taking action.
