We All Have One, Contributed By @olawalium.
The past is a powerful force. The past is so powerful that it has a way of messing with our head and hindering our future. The past has a strong hold that it robs us of our present, as well as our future if we are not careful. I am talking about the negative past; things we did that we are not proud of, or things that happened to us that we had no control over. It comes in replay in our head, hoping we can change it, or do things differently or even delete such a day from our existence.
We all have a past and it is what it is; in the past but its hold is as strong as we allow it to be. Ever wondered why we call the negative experience our past while the pleasant ones are called sweet memories? There is no one without a past. There is no one who hasn’t done something he or she isn’t proud of before. You have at one point done something you are utterly ashamed of; something you want buried deep down and you wouldn’t feel proud of it when brought to the surface.
We all have unrevealed situations that make us cringe in regret or actions we'd rather not talk about, well, only if you took a leap from one stage of your life and found yourself in the next. Let’s say, you took a leap from being a teenager and found yourself as an adult, only then can you say you have done nothing you regret. It might not even be an action; it could be something you said that you wish you could take back.
I am not talking about the degree of the stuffs we have done, but the fact that we all have something we are ashamed of. I know the place of having varying past; I mean our past could be grosser than the other, but no one is without one. Even some adults make mistakes and wish they could change things. We are all human.
…to be continued…
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Dear olawalium ,We are at learning stage. And mistakes are always expected. We have different memories in past, some were pleasent and some were bad memo. But i think whatever the past was, we should not repeat mistakes that we have done in past. We need to focus our present.
Absolutely. We need to do everything possible not to repeat the mistakes of our past. We should be better than we were. There is no life without mistakes, we should only strive to be better and forgive ourselves for the mistakes of our past. Thank you for that.
You know ..in Hindi language past is called as "bhoot" which means ghost . So any bad past deed may come in present party to haunt. But never let your past to spoil your present and future.
Any past activity which gives you goosebumps, treat them as life learning . people only learn from the mistakes they did. And obly a bad activity gives a good learning. So better learn from your mistakes and be happy thst the bad time has gone.

Beautiful. Without bad patches, there is no learning and only when we make mistakes can we truly understand and learn. That is right.
Yes, the past is a ghost and it pops up to haunt us.
Thank you, my friend.

You surely did. Hahahaha. Thanks a lot.
Yes we all have our pasts, the one we remember and wish it never happened. But pasts is pasts, we can't eraze it
Yes, we can't erase it but we can reduce the hold and negative effect it has on us. We can't go back to do things better, but we can do things better now, so we won't get into the future and regret again.
