You're so right, we all get wrapped up in the couldas... No more! Well, just a few more, maybe, but the more we all focus on the beauty of the present and what we want in the future, the happier we'll all be. —Amy Thanks Erin!

It's definitely a process, just reminding ourselves to look forward and only work on what we CAN. Hmm, what's that familiar saying again: Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference? That Reinhold Niebuhr (yes, I had to look it up!) really knew what he was talking about! Thanks for your comment, Ali! —Amy Oh please, we’ve ALLLL done it, and continue to do it every single day with things we wish we had done better, don’t you think?

So. Damn. True! I've done this in my (very, somewhat embarrassingly recent) past and hearing (ahem - reading) this made me feel 10x better even though those feelings are long gone. You're absolutely right. We can only go forward. “Stop focusing on what you think you should have done in the past in dating, and start thinking about what you can do now to attract the love you want!”
