Morning Family-

"If you could change mistakes from your past would you? or would you keep them and learn from them?"

 

 

 

Personally i made soooo many bad choices when i was younger- bad taste in guys, drugs, reckless behaviour- i was very irresponsible in my younger years, and i HAVE learnt alot from that, but there are some things i wish i could erase. i wasted 3 years in an abusive, hurtful relationship, to only then settle in to a 2yr relationship with a man who dealt drugs behind my back. i would maybe change that. but the rest was a huge life lesson and has helped me be the person i am today. i have learned from my mistakes- so that i wont repeat them.

Now how about you?

Well if I could have been tough enough to stand up to my parents and my ex I would have said NO as I had changed my mind about marrying him but I was only 17 and up against a lot of guilt and everyone mad at me so I caved and said fine.

You can't go back so I do not fret about it anymore.

Nope. Wouldn't change one thing from my past.  Yeh, bad boyfriends and bad decisions when in my teens and early 20s but learned a lot from all of them and am now wiser for them.  Great question.

I have so many negatives in my past. . . used to want to erase them, but I would not be me if I did that and I have finally learned to love myself :) Can't go back now, I can only move forward.

Hi

If I could change mistakes from the past then the answer would be yes I would. I was the right age to be involved in the early 90's Rave culture in the UK and all the drugs that came with it which really made my mental health problems a lot worse, So the mistake I would change would be not to have taken the drugs. I have so many other mistakes which I made during this time and it does play on my mind, Kitt I wish like you I could move on from these mistakes in the past but I cant seem to they make up some of the racing thoughts which seem to be on my mind all the time and contribute to my bad sleeping problems. This is something I need to work on and move on from these mistakes and not beat myself up over mistakes which happened years ago maybe I am a weak person I am not feeling strong at the moment and things are really starting to get on top off me again.

No, I wouldn't change anything. We learn from our mistakes and we are today who we are because of the things we have gone through. I think it's important to try and live life with no regrets.

I can understand where you are coming from totally..I too have made the same mistakes, obviously not in the UK but all the same my mental health has changed and in turn I have made some terrible choices and need to forgive myself so I can be free from my past and the pain I put myself and everyone else through.  I feel as though somedays I am sinking! I have to learn to dumb it down, as my shrink would say, and live in the moment, not in the past nor fear the future....I too have racing thoughts that I feel I have no control over them....But I will.  I am who I am from what I have been through and lost. I have never lived with any regrets...but I need to learn to love that new person inside now! x

No I wouldn't change anything either. You always learn from your mistakes, thats what makes us wiser as we get older.

One of my favorite sayings is "You can't move forward, if you are always looking in the rearview mirror".
