If you have a serious issues that you dealing with , maybe I won't look back .
No matter what , we learn from our past experiences , be it good or bad .
You have point @ times we can't blame ourselves if it took us the same lie or whatever that feel that way
In a sense, everything changes. In another sense, everything remains the same. It depends on our perspective.
And that would be the reasonable, realistic approach
with that point of view in mind we can avoid lots of bad surprises...

Everyone has a story untold, so never judge someone too quick,or superficially or as if we know their whole story, because the truth is we don’t.”
thanks for the your idea
They say if you do not refer to history for its lessons it has to offer, you are doomed to repeat the misfortunes it had presented. With that said, people do change. ....and some people never change.
Well, I hope today was a better day for you than yesterday and that tomorrow is better still. Cheers
Thanks
Ultimately I have the same goals and dreams for both daughter and son the way that protectiveness manifests may appear different but its from the same pool of emotion.
I can tell you this I would go to the ends of the earth to protect my mother or my partner but i would punch a hole through the earth to protect my children son or daughter.
You're a good dad
We all did some stupid things when we were young. Maybe we drank too much, partied too much, smoked a little weed, whatever. But some went on after that to be fine upstanding citizens and lived many years like that. In that case, it would be wrong to hold the early years against them.
Now if they murdered someone, thats another story. So its a matter of degrees and how far in the past.
Nice insight dear
just quickly took a peep at some comments here....
and trying to be fair in all past doings, why is it a different story when it comes down to murder, or do you see/judge anyone that killed someone as being a murderer?
Good question
Let me just elaborate as quickly as I can
Seeing as how one’s past say a lot about one’s character and integrity,
Excon or murderer
Yes their past is an integral part of making judgement on who they are today.
going to bed here, so I too shall answer quickly and perhaps with a question...
is our judgement based on our understanding?
I'm not the same person i was 20 years ago and i'm sure most people is not same as they were 20 years ago, our actions change as we get older..
since your past gives an indication of your character, your decision making, your values, your skills and your priorities as a human being. As long as they are judging passively, this should not affect you and there is no need to waste time and resources to clear up any misconceptions for either party
Indeed you're right
People are meant to be judge you on your past until you get success
What matters is what do you think about yourself
Do you still possess some of the bad habits of the past ?
If yes, do you think about to change those habits ? Don’t think about others
If no, other’s opinion doesn’t matter.
You're most welcome
Hope you're okay now
We are all somehow imperfect. Everyone of us has done or gone through at least something in our life that we are not so proud of. Memories that can haunt us even now—if we try to remember. Trauma that can still wake us up with a scary nightmare, if we think about that before our sleep.
Still, essentially the human beings want to be happy.
You can tell us your view about it then
My answer to your question is #BigBigNo.
The table is open
You can have all the space
It's not mandatory
Just go on
Well that answers the question then
The best you can do is hold your chin up, have a few supportive friends around you, and continue to live an honest life opposite to that of your past. People will believe what they want to believe, and that is neither your concern nor your responsibility.
Which can you take charge of? Your own thoughts, or the thoughts of others? Breathe easy and let Time heal your past.
Most people would see some things i do as bad habits but you could also say things like, prescription drugs or meditation being bad habits;;
Your right Ysa it's all about what you think and what you consider bad habits..
Thank you for your personal insight
Keep it up
I hope whatever habits you had you'll overcome it
Yes surely do
Good insight

I never said my past was not honest i said nothing about myself at all
I was just discussing the lefties and the hatred they carry around with them
I have forgiven and forgotten things in the past...unlike the lefties I have an understanding nature and don't carry any hate
