This powerful metaphor suggests that the past lingers like a haunting specter, growing stronger the more we dwell on our mistakes. Regrets nourish its presence, allowing it to torment us with "what ifs" and "if onlys." But ghosts have no real power; they are shadows of memory, not truth. To break free, we must starve the ghost by releasing guilt, embracing the present and refusing to let yesterday steal today’s peace. The past only chains us if we keep feeding it.

The quote "The past is a ghost we feed with our regrets." is often attributed to Amanda Lovelace, a contemporary poet known for her works like "the princess saves herself in this one" and other feminist, empowering poetry.
