Dear Diary,

The past. The past is something that haunts us with regrets, fills us with guilt and grief, and sometimes makes us overall miserable. However, the past is also sometimes where our most beautiful moments reside, and perhaps that is why some people are still living in there.

All of us, all of us, have in some point in time had regrets. Whether we matured or whether we let go of those regrets is a different matter. But, some of them, some of them, still fill us with despair until the present.

The question I want to ask is – Do we really want that? Do we really feel like if we change the past, our lives would be better?
History corrects itself, whether we meddle with it or not. There is no point in correcting a mistake when the experience you gained will vanish from your mind. Mistakes are what make us better human beings, what show that we are trying, and that some day we will achieve our goal, and we will succeed.

Most of us have lost a loved one, and we often wish that we could bring them back. The bitter truth is, we need to think about how they are much more happy where they are now, in their paradise, in their peaceful world, than they could ever be on Earth. There’s a line I would like to quote from Charles Dickens’s novel, ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ – “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”
