The goal isn't to return back to the time before that thing happened...

But to move forward with all your new ugliness as a part of you.

  • Divide your life into different epochs of character. Meet and greet the people you used to be.

  • You can trace your life events inside each of the Epochs, or inside a timeline view containing all Epochs in one. ◦ List down everything about the past: not just events (i.e. experiences, moments, happenings) but also life elements (i.e. variables, people, things, failings, your characteristics, etc.).

• You're not alone

  • All human experience is a repetition. Others have suffered similarly before. Record who to emulate here—from real life, history, or fiction.

  • Your understanding of the past will evolve over time. Start that change today.
