Imperfect Past

The past is something we want to look back on. Photographs help us with that, and it makes me think to myself, 'Those days were great.'

"You can't change the past" someone told me. That's true, to an effect. We have the past for a reason. To look back and remember back at those times. But, more importantly, to look back and fix our mistakes for the future.

Emman would tell me "Dude, who cares, it was the past." after my continous rants about the many days we had fun or the many stories I had to tell. Usually it depended on the story. I would look back at the many things in the past when I walk down the 'Star Dust Speed Way'. I would never look back at the stupid things, because it had nothing to do with me anymore. Because, those people I were once around no longer exist in my eyes.

I don't look back at those things because I have no use for them. The only things that I do have use for are the things that I've done wrong, rather than who I was around. If you look at someone else's past, you judge them, not yourself. So look back at your own past and fix your mistakes in the present.

The past is set, the present is here, the future is unpredictable. We can set our future correctly, by setting the correct variables. To set the variables, we must look back at our mistakes in the past, fix them in the present, and be set for the perfect future.
