Do you ever think about the past and see how things fit together??

Personally I try not to dwell on the past. My past is rather painful and quite depressing. Those types of things aren't something I care to think about very often. And, personally I don't see who would. Even some of my happier memories cause pain. Mostly because I'm greiving over my losses. Feelings I thought worked themselves out, I'm finding out just got barried. And, now I'm forced to work through the emotions which isn't something I really want to do. However, I can recall a few events that happened. They weren't plesent, but they did end up leading me into a better place. Well, for the most part anyway. I'm living in a nice place, and my life isn't as bad as it's been. Though I'll admit to having my share of hard times of course.

It is rather interesting to look at things that have happened with the benefit of hindsight. When we are in the moment, we can be ruled with emotions a bit more. We are unable to really see how things are falling into place. We are just going to be struck with certain impulses as we are going to move forward right in our lives and see how things lead up, both the good and the bad. Of course, we could see how these things have come. And perhaps see a decision that might have not been the best or a series of decisions that we could have changed had we known. But still it is interesting, as there are times where everything that happens tends to sometimes lead into other things. Or something happens that seemed important, but really was just a moment in time.

yes I do that all the time and true there is a reason for each event happened to me it all fits :) although some things I may never know why it happened but I know in time I will know

I recently raised a discussion about a choice I made in the past, which I am dealing with the consequence now. So yes, when I look back I do see how all of it fit together. They say hindsight is 20/20, and if there's a chance I could go back, I might have changed a few things.

Hi klw, I very often think about the past...because I think realizing your past help to points us in the right direction for the future.. I,like you also believe everything happens for a reason,,,We may not know at the time and we may not understand why things happen but you can believe someone somewhere knows why it happen...and I an totally aware who that is.. In this world there a lot of avenues we can follow... we sometimes make choices that are not our best choice things have a way of coming together eventually ....Our past should have a great deal to do with our future

Yes I can still seee the past in my life and it really makes a big impact of what I am today.Because of the past I become more stronger as a person and it shape me to be a person that I want to be.Past is very important of what we are now because its like a foundation of our life.without that past we cannot be who we are,and where we are now.

yes I often think about that, and I thank god things didn't turn out the way at the time I wanted because better things happened even though at the time I shed a lot of tears...

Yes I often connect the dots between my past and my present. I admit that there are some experiences in my past that I would rather forget because the memories are so hurtful. Still, when I try to connect the past to my present, I realize that there will always be a reason for everything. I got hurt in the past a lot of times and people that I trusted so much betrayed me. Those experiences made me more cautious and more careful. Ultimately, I became a stronger person now.

I always think of the past. Because past events and experiences are linked to today's happenings not just in my own life but also to major events in the world. When I think of it, I always see a puzzle which seems to complete only when everything is put into place. As for me, I look up into the past because it actually answers my questions about life. I really find it amazing on how it makes me who I am today.

You are absolutely right. our elders say that everything happen for a reason.and whatever happens is planned by God so it can't go wrong.I would share some here that when i ended up with my boyfriend i really was upset and thought that i will never be happy gain i wont find love again .I really wanted to marry him but he ditched me and according to his family he married a girl of his own choice who was more suitable to him according to his wish list.Then after some time i met my Husband(now)on a site. we chatted for sometime and we were sure that we wanted to be with eachother.we are married for 5 yrs now and blessed with 2 kids..He is really a darling and much better than my BF. and today i thank god for having him in my life.if my BF would have not ditched me i would have not found my darling husband.Thanks God...

Honestly what happened in my past is still unanswered..so every time i look back to my previous experiences including my failures in life, i still don't have a concrete explanation why it happened... maybe someday i will finally get the answer...
