Question

Does someone’s past truly matter? Do your past actions make you who you are, or is it possible to leave your past behind completely?

Answer 1

My past defines me only in that it makes me resilient.

My past, rather than hold me back, grants me experience.

My past is proof that I can both evolve and heal.

My past does not make me unlovable. Instead, it’s evidence of my strength.

My past is not something to be ashamed of. It’s what makes me both empathetic and compassionate.

My past affects my future only in that it has given me practice in managing change, and in integrating what has happened to me with who I want to be.
