I nodded. We all had our past. Some of us were still haunted by it. Some of us had regrets.

But nothing in the past could ever be changed, not the facts, not the failures. All we could do was strive to be the best version of ourselves in the now and let the past be in the rearview mirror.

Easier said than done.
