I judge myself for the choices I made in the past. Thoughts like these are bombarding my brain:

• I shouldn’t have wasted my time
• I should have invested in myself and my future
• I should have studied more
• I shouldn’t have dated that guy
  and so on…

I know that there is no point in arguing, neither with the past nor with present. These thoughts make me feel shame and they are slowing me down from making better choices now.

I feel so sad that I wasted so much time. Thinking what I could have done and accomplished by now if only I had known 10 years ago what I know now, makes me want to scream. Now I have so many ideas and I am afraid that I don’t have enough time.
