Willenium tugs our sleeve and says: Tell us why the past was a bit shit. You may wish to use witty anecdotes reflecting your own personal experience.

The past was rubbish?
No.
I accept it as a learning experience on this journey we call 'life'. There was justice, injustice, truth and lies and all other kinds of opposing conditions that you imagine are part of life.
The past wasn't a great place, and neither was it bad. It was what it was.
From it, I gained experience, was taught a few lessons - and some of those quite painful, but it prepared me to be a reasonable bloke and live a pleasing enough life and to be a good man to my family, friends and fraternity.
The older I become, the more naive I feel that I was and that I missed some opportunities on both sides of the line.
The past? Reflect on it - and turn the experience into something that matters to you. The only time the past becomes immaterial to you is when you're dead.
The present and the future? To paraphrase... "It'll do, pig, it will do." Family to love, work to be done and other things to occupy one's mind - that's enough.

Leave him alone! That was really profound.
Made me realise that all the times I've cut myself have only served to make me stronger.

Didn't do me much good though!
However, I was lucky enough that cutting never occurred to me.

Cake never hurt anyone.
Maybe rock cakes, if hurled with enough force.

Don't forget the deadly pointy triangular flapjack!
One school, at least, has had the sense to ban them though.

Was thinking something along these lines last night.
I have regrets and wish I'd had the courage or wisdom to make some better choices, or to foresee the awful things that sometimes happened to people I loved.
However, i'm still here, walking around, healthy, with a job and a house and friends and family, and some nice cats. Life's not so bad, and where it went wrong, I can only blame myself, and I'll have to live with that. You have to dump the bitterness.

Most of the ones I know in the real world are basically normal.
Do they only allow the non-whiny-shitcunt ones to travel?
