We've all had moments late at night where we laid upside down in our beds, wondering how different our lives could be if we have done things another way. Maybe it was a past argument you wish you had better comebacks to, or a relationship that wasted your time, we just never seem to be satisfied with where we are currently.
Our lives are ongoing stories in which every one of us is the main character. Unfortunately, we can’t hit a rewind button and start over. There are chapters in the past that we simply can’t change. They may include rejection, sorrow, and pain. Those chapters do not determine how your story ends, or who you are as a person. The ending has a lot to do with your choices today.
There's nothing you can do now to change what has already happened. If you spend the majority of your time worrying about it, you'll lose sight of the present. Does it mean that you should forget about your past? No, but you need to learn from the mistakes which you have committed and make sure that they are not repeated. Humans don’t have the power to reverse our lives. It's not under your control but what you can control is this very moment, and the years ahead of you.
The pen is in your hand, make sure you write the end that you want. Just remember "you can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start now and change the end", and it's never too late to start striving for your goal.

Wow. Kaiyue I loved your post! The past is the past and I wish I could get in a time machine and change the way I've done things, but you're right we all need to move on. It's from what I make of a negative experience that makes me a better person. I like how you say that even with bad things, I am in control. This blog definitely made me think and understand the way I handle with problems. Great work.
