Lately I've been toying with the idea (from Neville Goddard, Alan Watts, and others) that the past exists only in our mind, and we can make it anything we want it to be. I have not quite leaped into completely making up my past, but a selective focus on only the positive comes fairly easily, and if I make a story out of only the selected positives ... yeah, it comes out pretty idyllic.

In my youth, I blamed my upbringing for all of my inadequacies and disastrous decisions. When I realised that the past existed only in my mind, it shifted everything. What once felt like tragedy now feels like farce:)
