Wondering how to handle certain thoughts that are looping in the mind without giving a break. The questions of why is everywhere. Are there regrets? Of course, certainly there are some. Do I feel sorry? may be. Could I have done things better? certainly in all ways. If time machine exists, would my decision towards certain things/people be different? for sure.
But then what's the point of thinking on the lines of 'what if's. It is what it is and how you move forward with what's at hand is what matters now. What are we going to achieve by questioning ourselves on the decisions we took, the turns we made with respect to relationships, friendships and events happened in the past? While the mind understands that nothing fruitful is going to happen out of such questioning, does it stop doing so?
I'm reminded of friendships and relationships in the past that had been so very close. Once what felt cannot be left behind are behind now. Once what felt as something you cannot move forward without has become something that can no longer matter. But what happens changes one's self. Call it maturity or call it learning from mistakes.. The bottom line is something in the lines of a quote I read recently.. "don't let the old flame burn you twice".
At the end, what happens is.. We change. We stay away from the old flame burning us twice. We try to evolve. We get burnt by a different flame. We tell ourselves that the scar isn't as bad as the first one.. We change.. The loop goes on.
