Look back, reflect & keep going

In the past, as many of us, I’ve commited several mistakes, with love, studies, work and many other, which I wished I could change on some level, either erase that part of my life or completely modify it. The greatest learning came with Tenet, in which co-protagonist Neil delights us with:

“What’s happened, happened”

Pointing that reality took the course that it must, and that this specific part of our lifes is already gone. From a personal point of view, accepting this universal truth comes as a hard challenge for each and everyone of us.

As a friend who studies psychology (GEAL) once told me, thinking about the future often makes us anxious and thinking about the past makes us depressive. I may fall into the first pitfall as a result of my permanent worry about what I did wrong in the past and how my reality could be different if I had acted different, nonetheless, I’m willing to battle against this negative mindset and chnage that.

I’m starting this personal breadboard for ideas in order to clarify, analyze, discuss, receive feedback and journal my path. No need for fame, recognition or money, it’s kind of a new hobby, I’m not looking for something.

It could be even taken as a starting point, not to look back to the past and overthink about it (usual activity), but rather to look back, reflect what I’ve learned and keep going, this is my battle, this is my path.

Everyday can be a new start, since the beginning as human race we’ve do that, living in fictions.
