"Are friends really necessary?" He drums his fingers against his leg softly. "And how does one stop looking back? The past is past, and decisions cannot be reversed."
"They are if you want to be happy and healthy. And...I don't think people ever really stop looking back. They look back less when their life in the present is full."
"I see. Of course, forgetting the past would be beyond foolish. I just wish to stop second-guessing myself. I believe in my decision. So why must I constantly question it?"
"Of course. That is not quite what I meant. How would you stop from second-guessing yourself, and worrying over a past decision that you still feel is the right one?"
"Oh. That. I don't know that one. I haven't figured it out myself. I think time will take care of it, or when you have actual affirmation that what you did was right."
"If they're good friends, they'll listen to you when you need to talk, help you whenever they can, and they won't abandon you for making stupid mistakes. It feels good to have people like that around."

It can be good to look back. It helps you understand what you see when you look forward."

"Depends. Are you referring to yourself unable to stop looking back, or someone else?"
