It's never too late to seek God's forgiveness, so repent now

It is never too late for a true Muslim to repent to Allah, and to shed tears for the wrongdoing he has committed.

This is the month of forgiveness. A month of abstinence from the worldly pleasures, desires and the month of pure intentions. Allah granted us this month to purify our wayward hearts from the blackness of sins we have inflicted upon it.
It is a month to renew and refresh our life to start worshipping Him. It is a month where we should return and repent to Him and beg Him for salvation. 
Therefore, we should never lose hope or stop asking Allah The Almighty for forgiveness for our sins and mistakes. The importance of seeking forgiveness is shown to us in a narration of the Prophet: O people! Turn to Allah in repentance and seek His forgiveness, for surely I make repentance a hundred times every day.
Repentance is such a great act of worship that it can completely erase one's sins altogether, as the Noble Prophet said: One who repents from sins is like one without sin.
When a person commits a sin and then sincerely turns to Allah for forgiveness, he will find Allah ready to accept his repentance and to forgive him. Allah says in the Holy Quran: "And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself, but then seeks forgiveness from Allah, he will find Allah forgiving and merciful." (Holy Quran, 4:110)
Everyone commits sins and mistakes, but Allah is always willing to forgive and He always gives them a chance to repent and seek forgiveness. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven." (Bukhari 2:37)
Islam also realises that humans make mistakes and intentionally or unintentionally they commit sins. Therefore, Islam does not expect humans to become angels, rather it expects them to be themselves and repent on whatever mistake that gets committed by them.
It is never too late for a true Muslim to repent to Allah, and to shed tears for the wrongdoing he has committed, keeping in mind that if one manages to escape the punishment of mortals, he will not for sure escape the punishment of Allah in the Hereafter.
So do not put off repentance; take the necessary steps immediately, for no one can tell when the death will overtake us.
The door of repentance is open so long as we are not in the throes of death, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Allah accepts the repentance of His servant so long as death has not reached his collar bone." (Tirmidhi). In conclusion, after sinning, one should not feel despair. Rather one should forward sincere repentance to Allah and rest assured that Allah Almighty will forgive his sin, as long as his repentance meets the abovementioned conditions of sincerity. 
Moreover, you must learn how to forget, for the more you look back to your old days of sinful habit, the wider the door is open for Satan to draw you back.
