Journey...

"If my younger self had met me today, I would have punched myself in the face..."
 
We always wish for the butterfly effect to go back and fix something. But we cant. Life is like this, everything that we do today has potential to make or break our future. We can only look back at past and decide to do something, again with the same potential risk. We can succeed, fail or both. We are going to be judged irrespective.
Look ahead and choose what you want to do now and DO IT, NOW. At least love and believe in yourself as much that you would not want to punch your past self tomorrow, hopefully. When everything else fails, only you would be there for yourself.
Keep going with knowledge that the butterfly effect is a myth and future is a mirage. Never know when the mirage turns out to be real Oasis. The journey should never stop.
