Remember the past, but don't live for it. Learn from the past, but don't dwell on it. Let go of the past, don't live in it. History can repeat itself, but only if you let it. So don't. Make the most out of life. After all, it's the only one you get.

“There comes a time in our lives when we do things that we don’t understand. We confuse ourselves, we might even logically oppose our impulses and yet we act on them anyway... There are some things that we feel that we absolutely must do. We might know that they are wrong, or pointless, or gravely punishable, and yet we do them anyway. These actions are not born of anger or emotion – we are perfectly sober. It’s rather inexplicable. When the time comes, we can’t stop ourselves and so we cannot blame ourselves.” -Umasi, Truancy
