Have you come to terms with your past? conversing

Is it water under the bridge or does it really affect how you perceive new people who come into your life wine

I am proud of the person I am and my past is a part of what makes me unique and special. Sure there are things that we wish were different but no amount of wishing can take you back there to change it...
So we have 2 choices we can sit still feeling anger sorrow hate wallowing in our own self pity
or
We can take a step forward each day look at something good that we have to offer and keep walking...

I choose to walk forward with my head held high and not blame the past for who I am today..

because I am lovely rose

my past is my gauge and teacher for my now and what's to come in the future ....


Pointless living in the past or regretting anything, its not like you can change it ... Even if I could, I would not really want too ...

For me people in my life fall into two categories ... those that matter and those that don't ...


so I spose for me its water under the bridge ........... cool

Not really talking about regret, more about lessons learned and whether you do a kind of mental stocktake when meeting someone new..

Interesting thing is, I have my smarts about me, like I am sure we all do .. I do know a new person is not guilty of the crimes of those before them ..

Though yes I think we all rely on hindsight to see the now, don't we ??


I can only put it like this serene I know what qualities I want in a person .... If I did not see something worthwhile and desirable, I would not purse it ... so is this a mental stocktake ... I dunno .... dunno

Yeah I guess in posting this thread I was thinking of a guy I met the other day..

He was like a composite of a few guys I've had in my life - funny, attractive, conversational and very appealing .. but also troubled which has been my downfall to a certain extent.

I didn't know whether to run for my life or tell him to lie down laugh

Hi Serene,

Yes, I do a mental stocktake when meeting someone new, its called being cautious, and listening for wrong notes...

and when wrong notes... don't happen, a little bit of the brick wall that surrounds me comes down...

That is natural don't you think ?wave wave

Very true merri, I am like that, things that happened in the past(that wasn't nice) you are cautious, so it doesn't happen again. They may only be small things, but turn into large later. sigh
