New Beginnings

Nothing is rarer than the opportunity to re-visit a past mistake, and the chance to fix it your second time through.

Of course not everything will be the same; and you will not get all the same opportunities you were given your first time through. In some cases you will be too late--a crush will have moved on; friends will have moved away; and none of this revises all the years that have passed since your first time through. But that does not minimize the opportunity you do have.

Most people would kill for the chance to make things right in the past, so they can move on from all their guilt and pain. When such a chance comes, you would be silly not to take it, right? And you would be even sillier for repeating the same mistakes you made last time, right?

Do not dwell on the past. Learn from your mistakes, and move on. Live in the present.
