No. What's the purpose? Won't make you less better in the present. The present will always bring new issues then what will you do? Redelete your past?

I suppose I was thinking of moments, things you said or did. It may not even be major things. But I do see your point@Eklipse

@Strongtea Past is supposed to teach us.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I know, maybe if you could erase something but still keep the lesson you learned? There’s more than a few things for me.@Eklipse

@Strongtea That's the easy way out. Lifes not like that. It'll remind you of every brutal singular moment you had to build resilience.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yeah I know, but I’d still love to do it, so many cringeworthy moments I’d love to erase. But yep you are right@Eklipse

@Strongtea Depends on how accurate your memory is too. Mine torments me a lot.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Haha! Mine reminds me everyday! 😳😬@Eklipse

@Strongtea Mine too
@Eklipse Sure and it does but if I had the chance to go back and do things again and have a better life you better believe I would. Has nothing to do with it's already past. If one can better themselves I would take advantage of the situation. I think I would be foolish not to.
@Eklipse Not always. We can control that. We don't have to allow our past to torment us. I know some don't have that option because they're so depressed or have mental issues, but for the most part, we do have that option. That's what's good about life. If we don't like it we can change it up and I've done that many a time. We don't have to be slaves to our past. It's in attitude. If it's going to be it's up to me. We are not helpless, we were made to be resilient and exercise perseverance and patience. We know right from wrong and that gives us all the power to do what we need to do. Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right!
@Strongtea Changing things we have said are done would be wonderful and there's nothing wrong with that.

@LadyGrace Haha that's familiar. Can't remember where I heard it tho right now.
I just move on and continue my existence. A guy yesterday said it right. ....No matter how bad its getting or how out of control it gets. There always comes better and poof just like that I managed to brighten my day. Though exhausted out of my mind. 🌹
@Eklipse
Absolutely, so do I, but that doesn't address the question of would we go back if we could and change things [i]if we could[/i].

@LadyGrace I'm not changing anything. The end. So I responded. 😌
@Strongtea Me too. So many moments I'd like to erase. And that doesn't mean they were all my mistakes.
