(((Sadguy))),

Many people have things they experience in their lives where they might have made a mistake or experienced someone abusing them somehow. We are really designed to continue and learn, no matter what.

No, you certainly can't change the past, no one can do that. But, to hang onto mistakes and have regrets and ruminate, is not really what should be done with our lives. We are not here very long you know, so it is important you make an effort to try to find ways to "keep moving forward" no matter what.

Take your life forward, give yourself permission to heal, and even love yourself. After all, we must find our way to "appreciate" life, even if we go through some rough things, we can still go forward.

Do you live near a beach somewhere? What about going out when the tide is beginning to come in, write what you need in the sand, and then watch to ocean come in and wash it away. That is what you can even do in your mind you know. We do not have to choose to live our past, we can, instead, choose to live forward.
