A part of the past is present (if there IS a present, but that's a different story...), and a part of the past is future.
Besides that, I'd say that changing the past always changes the future, noticed or not.

Intentionally changing history is tricky, because you remove the reason for your wanting to change history. You can't just go back in time, kill Hitler and leave a note for yourself:
"Hi, his is your future self, be sure to study quantum physics so you can make a time machine and kill Hitler"
And when you (younger self) finds the note you think "Who the fuck is Hitler?" because he's dead.

In which case you have to do the back to the future style thing
where time skews off into another universe where hitler is dead
because you killed him, but you still remember him being alive.
Which is actually the most obvious soloution, and from what we
know about travel into the future, scientifically makes a lot of sense,
since you don't actually appear in the future you just skip over the
intevening years at a faster rate than everyone else, so everything
changes around you but you don't change.
however we can't actually prove it by travelling back into the past.
