“I'm 16,and my past was not too good, it's filled with so many good memories,but a lot of trauma too. And because I kept going back to focusing on the past, I'm not able to enjoy my present, and I can't think about anything good in future,even after having so many opportunities,and goals in my life. Teenager life is so beautiful, because once we become adults there's no going back from all the responsibilities. I made so many mistakes in my past, that I think about it all day. And because of that I wasted this year too. I'm such a person who always wanted to enjoy life like a free soul,but life's feeling too hard right now.”

I would suggest that, find a person you can open up to and talk about the things that bother you and hurt you. Someone you can share everything with. It's gonna take aot of weight off your shoulders.

I get it, this is really hard, and personally i didn't have good school years and i still regret not having those "typical" school experiences, it's because i was completely caught up in my past experiences and forgot to see that not everyone is like that and there are lot of people(atleast one or two) out there who genuinely appreciate our presence and i think there is someone in your life as well, who really appreciates your presence. It is difficult to come out of whatever you are experiencing and it takes lot of courage in the first place to tell about this. And i am not going to tell you that you are still a teenager and there will be lot of so called big problems to face as you grow up, but i will say this, at every stage of life, we experience lot of problems and feel anxious and feel so down, but we just have to accept it and try to live with it, i know it's a shitty advice, and if you think it is really bothering you, and if you have access to therapy, then try getting it. I dont know if this helped but just know that you are not alone and if this helped even a little bit, i am really grateful for that and i am pretty sure that you will get through this.

Only way to let go of ur past is to forgive yourself...u are well aware of ur mistakes...that is a good thing...if u want to acknowledge those mistakes...u have to talk with those concerned only if u are comfortable or good circumstances prevail ...its okay to not have a clear cut picture of future...take one breath at a time ...one day at a time...focus only in the present...the habits u inculcate pave the path to ur bright future...and learn from ur mistakes ...they are not mistakes...they are lessons ....if u don't, life will just make u repeat those mistakes until u are well aware of those and correct them ....tbh...even adults don't feel like adults...they feel like only yesterday I was 15 and in a blink i am 35 ...and say i dont feel like 35 at all ...adulthood isn't just abt responsibilities...u are allowed to be a free soul in ur adulthood as well...u can always reach towards helping hands when the responsibilities are up ur throat ...opportunities prevail all the time... u just have to use them at right times..focus on the things u like to do...this too shall pass...have a nice day
