I can totally relate to what you say here! It is nice to hear that other people look back and regret the bridges burned. I really wish I hadn't done that but, as I can't change the past I am trying something new now. I should say that in this phase of looking back I did get in touch with people who's bridge I only partially burned and apologized for my disrespect of our friendship. Of course some friendships are gone forever and from that I can only learn to not repeat this.

Now that I type this I wonder if you are truly stunted or is it that your soul is focusing on the past so that you can repair some of those relationships and bring them into the present?
