Hell no. I don't dwell on the past, live in the past, have a memories scrapbook, keepsakes, etc. If anything, I make a conscious effort to forget the past, and unlike jesusfreaks, I do not embrace guilt or regret. The past is gone. You cannot undo what was done anymore than you can uncook the rice, or unbreak the coffee cup. Dwelling in the past robs the present. The only thing the past is good for is learning what was previous mistakes, and how to avoid repeating them....beyond that the past holds naught but a fool's errand.
