“It’s hard to accept, but you can’t change the past. You can’t go back and manipulate things to the way you wanted them to happen. But you can change the future, and that’s a beautiful thing about life. Yes, you will make mistakes. And yes, you will have bad days - but as long as you let the past go, you’ll have such a gorgeous and bright future ahead of you knowing that things were meant to happen; knowing that each day you will learn something so that you keep growing to be a better person. Life is like a rope, twined in all its complexities and yet woven into one marvelous stream that you have the chance to use and create something amazing from. So grab hold of it.” Anna Matthews
You know what, even if I could go back in time and change the past I don’t know that I would. Firstly because I wouldn’t even know where to begin. But mostly because my past, although it nearly broke me, has made me who I am today. I’m not perfect. Nor will I ever be. But I am myself and I have realised that that is all I can be because it is all that I have.
Besides, despite the past, there’s always the future to look forward to. My future. Your future. It will be what you make of it. It could be a repeat of your past or it could be bright and glorious. Your choice. Do with it what you will.
