"Whatever happened in the past belongs in the past. Learn from it, grow, and move on"
-B.J. Harvey

Fairly simple quote, but it still has a lot of value to me. It's easy to get caught up in the past. You ruminate and wonder about things you would have done differently and it becomes an endless cycle of pity and remorse. What's done is done.
 
From my notebook. Some quotes that help me from time to time:

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. -- Helen Keller

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened ... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on. -- Tupac Shakur

You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once and move on. -- Homer Jay Simpson

Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different. -- Bill Watterson

Stars can't shine without darkness.

Through this world of trouble, we've got to love one another.

I think you are doing a beautiful job figuring out some heavy shit.

Never even met you and I LOVE YOU MAN!!! Keep it up!!!
 
I believe this is worth a read for many people on this forum still blaming themselves every single day for the situation they are in. Some worse than others.

Sometimes we need to take a step back, put things in perspective, and accept what is - for now. We can't change the past, but we can learn how to respond better on those hard days when everything feels dark and impossible.

In the middle of the forest there's an unexpected clearing which can only be found by those who have gotten lost.
— Tomas Tranströmer
 
Pain is temporary.

It may last for a minute,
or an hour or a day, or even a year.
But eventually, it will subside.
And something else take its place.

If I quit, however, it will last forever.


E. Thomas
 
Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind carries me across the sky.
-Ojibwe saying

The Sopranos, Season 6, Episode 4
 
My favourite Maya Angelou quote:

The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas.
The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising.

Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow.

Today I am blessed.
