“If we spend our time with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what might happen tomorrow, we have no today in which to live.”......UNKNOWN AUTHOR.

According to me.....the most negative phrase in English language is "IF ONLY". All of us face hard times in life and most of us fight our way out of it but are we really able to move ahead? The chains of "IF ONLY"holds us tightly, won’t say it holds us back as after a struggle we all start leading a normal life or at least try to.....but now and then we do sit back and think---IF ONLY THIS HAD NOT HAPPENED!!!!!! I am not saying it’s easy for anyone to let go of the past......but we all try in every possible way to smile thinking about the positivity and learning from the negativity. We do shed a few drops of tears now and then when we think of something very painful.....whatever we do it’s our story and we have all the right; things get worse when another person jumps in and tries to scratch the past wounds till it starts bleeding again. This kind of behavior is want I consider.....'INHUMAN'.

People say don’t live in past, live in present and think about future.......but do they really allow a person to move on and think about present and future....... I don’t think so. I agree exceptions are always there but we always meet people who are so inquisitive. It’s not that if someone does not ask we forget about all that we have faced in life, it’s just that when another person talks about it over and over again, the pain never seems to heal and we are again chained up with "IF ONLY". We humans have a very peculiar habit; we see our past mistakes as experiences but that of others as failures and try to keep on reminding them about it; if we could only change this attitude.

The clutches of "IF ONLY" are so tough that we all fail to break-free from them on our own, but having some wonderful people, both family and friends, around makes the journey easier. It’s not that we won’t meet people who try to push us to darkness but having some understanding people who are ever ready to relief us from these chains makes everything so much bearable.. Thank you GOD for blessing me with such wonderful and understanding people. After all its mistakes that make me feel human and it’s on me to work on them.

beautiful write up sister .. i agree with everything you said .. so true!
very true and if these people won't let you let go of the past, maybe they are also have sufferings, the reason is they don't want to move forward themselves.

Great thoughts! Thanks for linking up.
Blessings on your day!
The way things u expressed is impressive. Keep it up. The thoughts which u have is absolutely right. Most of the people dont want to change and move to the next step without struggle, so they pull-down our legs from behind. That's most of the common-behavior of the people....
Well said .. perfectly written. Totally agree.

I agree, looking back wastes the only time we have, which is this moment. We can only learn from the past and then move on. The past is gone, the future is not guaranteed, all we have that we are sure of is this moment. And we need to live it to the fullest!
