We can always look at the past and wonder what if we had acted differently; what might we have changed? What butterfly's wing might we have stilled to avoid the present tsunami? We could spend our entire days in the past, constantly in reverse, going over our memories like a film real and rehearsing different scenarios to achieve the finale that satisfies us. Only to come back to the reality of the now and find that we still have the pit of guilt, sorrow or anger living crouched within us and our fantasy was merely that.
It has to stop. We have to change. We cannot spend our lives in the past, as damaging as living in tomorrow. The 'what might be' as dangerous as the 'what if I had'. Leave it be. Slough it off like a old skin. Break free from the flagellation of regret. It is like poison, sucking at the happiness that we have right to. Do not turn back and perhaps, like Persephone, we might see as much light as darkness. At least we must try.
Time up.
