About This Quote
The past cannot be changed, but we can change the present. We are always able to choose our actions in the present. The past can’t be changed, but it can be learned from. For Bridget, the knowledge that the past cannot be changed but that it could be learned from was a great gift of understanding. It allowed her to live more strongly in the present without letting the past control her emotions.
