Tenses

The past shouldn't matter. Why can't we start a clean, fresh slate? Sure, I and others have made mistakes in our past, but it doesn't mean we are the same person as when we were when we made those same mistakes, were we now? Why do we let our past hold us back from being our present selves. Maybe a more mature selves. As a child, when were infantile. But as we grow up, we start over w/ a clean slate b/c we had matured as individuals. Hypothetically speaking: Why do our reputations as a reckless teenage rebellions keep us from changing our bosses' minds about us? These bosses knew us when we were teens. Heck, we were causal friends. But these bosses think we had never grown up, never matured, will they give us a chance. Me, I'm all for 2nd chances. Life full of plenty second chances and more if you give it. As for the future, the future is left up to you; the ball's in your court, ladies and gents, so make it yours!!! Make something worthwhile!!! Do worthwhile!!!
