Looking Back

It's funny how the person we're supposed to hate is so often the person that we care most what they think. And how, when we finally teach ourselves that we in fact do not hate that person, our whole world is altered.
Looking back, nothing is as much of a big deal as it was at the time; it happened and now it's over. Everything that we've endured, the life changing events for better and for worse, aren't such a big deal. The days, weeks, months we thought we wouldn't live through, always came to an end.
I don't regret things anymore. There's no way of turning back time and we learn from our mistakes.
A great Buddhist thinker once said, "What's done is what had to be done." I have never heard words of more truth.

sometimes to get over what has happened.. you got to confront the situation because if you sit on it its always gonna be there

so does this mean we should always be looking forward? if what is happening now wont matter in the future and the past doesnt matter now, when do we live?
