Quantum Leap

When i was young, silly and still innocent i had this tv show i was obsessed with. Remember Quantum Leap? This tv show about a time traveller going back into time and fixing the wrongs by taking over the body's of this particular person in history? Besides the fact it was a bad eighties/nineties tv show which reminds me of a creepy time travellers version of invasion of the body snatchers, it fascinated me for years. The idea that what already happened doesn't have to be absolute and we tiny pawns in this big board game called life can go back into time and fix things that are unfinished, had a certain romantic idea and was better then the alternative: that the burden of regret can be something some of us have to live with for as long as we are alive. Since that tv show i did some growing up and nowadays i have a totally new philosophy on fixing the wrongs in one's past. When you are learning things whether it's at school, at your job or just learning to speak better in public, you never try to fix thing while learning. You make mistakes and you learn from it and next time you do it a little bit better, but you never try to go back into time to the mistakes and try to erase or fix them. So why not look at life with the same mentality? Accept your past, embrace today and look forward to life, instead of looking backwards trying to fix the things from the past. Take that Quantum Leap ahead instead of back. I would like to thank the friends who made me aware of this and now i'm hoping to do the same for you.

P.s: Does this mean i never look back reminiscing the time when i was 16 and had a sixpack to die for and looked hot in belly-less tops? No of course not, i'm only human, but now i just wear those great lengthy a-line tops to cover up the no-packs i now gracefully wear. Resistance is futile.
