There will always be the 'what if's' in life...we will always wonder how our lives would be if we would have taken a different path. The goal is to not regret where we are today or who we've become, but to instead embrace it and love ourselves, even when we can't look at ourselves in the mirror. We cannot dwell on the past, cannot change who we were when we were seventeen...

Does the past really make us stronger?
I've been thinking...do the things that happen to us in our lives that hurt us really make us stronger in the long run? Or do those events traumatize us so much that to relive them makes it hurt? Do the people we date who don't last really help us realize what we don't want in life, or keep us wondering what would have happened if we could have made it work?

I think the past has the potential to make us stronger, as long as we learn from it. Whether it's learning not to do something, not to trust some people, or to always believe in yourself... there's a lesson to learn from almost every occurrence. :)
