I am very happy and content with who I am right now and I wouldn't be that person if not for my past experiences.

Damn true. That's just how I feel as well.

And @ twoseven: You sound just like a girl I know. I made some bad desicions in the past towards her, and she has clearly stated that she will never let that go. This pisses me off to no end, because it's frequently biasing her view on what could be a much brighter future.

Those that live in the past only destroy themselves. If you live in the past because bad things happened you don't want to forget, those things will forever poison you and ultimately make you unable to feel happy about anything you have in the present. If you live in the past because good things happened you don't want to forget, you will only drive away potential sources of happiness in the future because you will always compare them to the past. Good things are never forgotten.

But of course, anyone is free to live just however the hell they want. If they want to live in their own little bubble of the past, then that's their choice - just don't whine about all the ++++ things in the present because most of it is your own fault.
