I Wish I Had The Ability To Change My Past
“There’s going to be moments in life where you are going to want to turn back — that’s when you have to go on.”
– Ritu Ghatourey
A friend of mine had once asked me if there is anything I'd like to change about my past and I gave a quick response that I have too many things to change about my past... She smiled and said something that gave me a change of heart towards everything that has happened in my past.
I am grateful for what have happened, all that brought me this far in life
Okay, at first I tried to compare how far she has gone in life and how far I've gone, I couldn't comprehend immediately why I should be so grateful but then another thought to back what she said came in... What if something worse had happened? What would a spotless and no challenge past mean for me right now? I realized that I needed those bad experiences, those sad moments and those hurtful memories to go on towards my future.
But I wish I had the ability to change my past
While I'd not want to forget my past but use them as lessons for my present and future, I've come to find it hard to think positively enough about them. I didn't had a smooth past like most people and it's affecting my present in a way I'd wish it doesn't, I can't seem to figure out a way out of it yet so I wish I could change them instead. Yeah, I wish I could go the easy way in a difficult world lol.
It is an impossible thing to happen and even though some wishes do come true, it doesn't make this wish an even valid one. I've always wished after I noticed that the past I've lived have some positive effect on my present than the negative since I really can't change my past totally. Sometimes it's hard to control how one thinks but when the control is there, a lot of things could change for the better in our present.
I wish I had the ability to change my thoughts totally but if I could only control my past memories for them to act on my present actions positively, that would be fulfilling for me... It isn't a hard wish, and I want to make it happen somehow.

Honestly, there are few challenges that I’m currently facing and always wish I can do same over here but unfortunately, I pray to God for help and move on
That's just it... We move on anyways
I think most of us want to change our past because we all made many mistakes in the past. But have you ever thought If we had the power to change our past and made our mistakes correct, I might not receive the lesson and I think we would make the mistakes at other times?
I am just trying to imagine. So, nothing to be serious.
I've thought about that a lot and I end up being grateful for my life hehe
Our past always positive and negative impact on our present. But I can't deny the fact that I also wished to change some things in the past, particularly the painful events. However, such events gave lessons to me that made me into who I am today.
Keep being grateful and beautiful inside out !LADY

Indeed sis, we can only wish to change our painful past but we can only learn to live the present with the lessons learnt
I concur, if only wishes were horse I guess everyone will take a ride.I have a dark past that hunts me even up until now sometimes I wish it could set my thoughts free🤦♀️
My dear, I understood you totally... There are just those past that keeps hurting anytime sadly.
I don’t think you want to change your past. I bet you’re more careful now for the things that happened to you to not happen again. I bet you do things better now and make better decisions based on what happened to you in the past.
I know, it’s easy to dismiss that we would prefer to not have our past experiences but if we took a moment to study ourselves for just one second we would realize that we are actually who we are today because of everything that we went through yesterday.
Now you think differently from how you used to think, you reason differently, you have a different(better) perspective on things, you take a different(better) approach to matters, you are more empathetic, you are more open-minded, all thanks to what you have gone through in the past.
It is totally okay to want to change your past(cuz you really don’t know what people have gone through) but since that is not possible, accepting your past and embracing is the best thing to do.
People that have had a rough past tend to have so much wisdom(if they accept their past and embrace it).
Hang in there hun, you will be fine.
Wise words... Evident that he ha also accepted and learnt from his past hehe, I appreciate your contribution to this. I can only wish but this is also me recognizing how my pasts is affecting my present both positively and negatively to live better. Thanks for stopping by
You’re welcome
Each one if us as humans must have reasons to change our past. Myself, also, I have many things I would have love to change in my life regarding my past. Especially, my mistakes. But, just as you said, those mistakes contributes to our success today.
Yeah, they do so we should actually be grateful about them
We can't have a perfect life, there will be things we will be grateful for and there are things we will wish didn't happen to us but still everything we have been through happened for a purpose.
I am grateful for the past even though it still breaks me and let's not forget that we are who we are today because of that same past we wish to change
Well said George and I agree with you... Just here wishing if horses were wishes
We cannot definitely change our past but we can learn absolutely a lot from our past experiences, may it be a past mistake, or a wrong decision that we had. Our past lead us to where we are right now. ☺️
And it's even more amazing that we make mistakes now that will become our past which we would want to change lol.
We all have those change about our lives we wished we could change. But maybe not being able to change them is the beauty of life.
Though, our lives can’t be perfect, we can make the future better.
Beauty of life... I like the use of that on this matter 😁
