Can't Unlearn

There are very few things in life that you can't unlearn, or at least safely ignore to the point where you don't let them affect you. Time travel is one of those things. Once you've been opened to the idea that anything in the past, large or small, can be fluid, rather than immutable, your world goes upside down.

In the end though, your idea of you is from a huge mountain of events and thoughts, and while some individual moments may be important, very rarely are they as life-defining as most people assume that they are. Often a good habit is to internalize whatever crossroad decisions one has made and render them less likely to change based on potentially vulnerable binary actions. If one's personality and history is seen as sandbar in a river, rather than a rock – which is either whole or broken, one is a lot more resilient.
