I want to add in a second answer to this because everyone here is so fucking negative.
There are men and women in their 50s and 60s I've met who I'd describe as innocent even if they wouldn't themselves. They don't recognize how truly decent and good of people they are in an otherwise sometimes bleak world.
Yes, some things cannot be unseen. And I'm sure all of you have done things in your past. I have too. And maybe as the man who's still hanging onto his sense of innocence and purity even in my 20s, my words are subjective.
But you can ALWAYS come back. You can always find that same sense of innocence again.
The past doesn't matter. It does to some extent yes, it made you who you are and if you've done something horrible in your past, never forget it and live with it...but don't let it live with you.
You are not the sum of all your evils and you CAN be innocent in the world again.
Not everything can be unseen...but the abyss can be.
People can come back.
I refuse to believe anyone is broken permanently and no one can move on from their traumas or mistakes.
They will always be there and when you meet someone you will tell them about what you did...but that person will already see you for who you are at this moment: A beautiful and innocent good person who can always do better and always tries to.
You're not lost everyone.
