We can't pick and choose the facts of the past, changing the ones that are inconvenient, make us look bad, or no longer represent who we are today. This isn't to say that we can't move on from the past either,

Sometimes past gets stuck on us like this. And more we try to move away from this the harder it gets. I wonder how some people manage the past and continue to move ahead. I suppose that does not work well for all people and some very rare case manage to get ahead.
