i think that we all have regrets about our pasts... somewhere in there are ghosts (not the friendly kind either) and i've screwed up many times and every time i do sumthin regrettable i try to learn sumthin from that situation.. i believe that every decision we make teaches us sumthin about ourselves (or should) positive or negative
the point i'm trying to make is that ur past is your personal journey and even though there might be other people involved in it, it is essentially the chronicles of your inner struggle.
i've just met up with an old friend recently and we've become close again, but his new girlfriend (who hasn't yet met me) doesn't like me because he's told her some stuff about my past. at first i was like how could he tell her my shit? it has nothing to do with her, but then i realised that it actually has - she is dating him-> parts of my past were parts of his... understandable
the thing that really grates me is that i'm not the same person as i was, lots of stuff has happened since then and i think i've grown as a person.. so yea it pisses me off when someone who doesn't even know me feels that she has the right to judge me without being me..
what have i learnt from this? people more often than not are disappointing no matter how u try to sugar coat it, that is fact
