We can't turn the clock back, no more than we can change what has happened or done in the past.
The past is gone on down the line, but the present is here and the future is within our power to act as we feel necessary.
We can forgive now or in the future, and every effort should be sought to forgive, because as long as you cannot forgive the matter is never closed, and is with you always, gnawing at your mind and causing you hurt. Forgiving somebody is a cleaning exercise for both you and them, and once acted upon, give the matter a final outing and is finished with, forgotten and you can move on. It is a great experience of closure.and a big burden from your life. TRY IT
We all have experiences when temptation overtook us, when we were ashamed of our actions, when we were guilty of something we know we should not have done. They are unhappy thoughts, and dwell with us until we can deal with them.
How we can deal with them is a matter for you alone. It depends on what you have to deal with.
On occasions we have to live with the consequences of our actions, and can only ease our discomfort, by doing some good deeds for others , as a type of penalty we impose upon ourself, in order than we feel better.
If your past mistakes are likely to hurt somebody by you relating them, it is best not to say anything about them. However if by discussing your past misdeeds, will not hurt anybody, it is a great sense of relief to be able to share it with somebody,
"A problem shared is a problem halved"
The present and future is in your hands, act on it if you will get relief and closure. But the past is past, and cannot be changed, so seek closure not guilty feelings
Take care, keep smiling

Id love to turn the clock back. Back to when i thought my Husbands words were the bee all and end all of everything. I never really told him i disliked the way he talked to me or treated me like a second class citizen. I was to jump if he said so. It was only 8years ago i started standing up for myself, he started treating me different, with more respect, trouble was it was to late then. Id had enough. I walked. He was an old fashioned type of guy, and i was brought up to believe that what your hubby said was law. Im now in a very loving and gentle relationship, totally different. If id stuck up for myself years ago, i would have been married now for, 35years. So yes id turn the clock back, because i did love him once.

yeah to when i was 11 months old and my brother was born, then adopted out.
i want to go back and change it, so that he stayed, or that i went with him.
seperating us then, has made an impact on our lives of now.
i wish I'd not gone to the fields after a row with my brother in 1980
then i would have stayed safe
I also want to not get married in 1992
and null the second wedding in 1998
they were both the biggest mistakes i ever made
and i wish i'd not conceived in 1999.
other than that...
I'm sure there's more, F*uck up is my middle name

Who wouldn't want to able to turn clock back! Since it is obviously not an option, people need to be responsible, lead a good life, be good to themselves and others, because you have to live with your choices. There is no going back.

i wish you could ive made alot of mistakes. but one could have cost everything, wish there was a way then things could be alot different now.
But my mother would still be dead from cancer cause you cant change that. that would still be hard to live with, so some times its not all plain sailing you take life as it comes to you.

Yes all the time,If I`d never met and married my first husband,he would`nt have hurt me and I would`nt have lost touch with my mother,but I don`t regret having our children and I`m now very happy with my new husband,but I sometimes wish I had met him first,as he is my soul-mate.

You know it. I understand that one needs to look forward, move on and grow but a person isn't human if there isn't something they would change.
If I could only go back . . .
