Thank you for your help!

Every person from your past lives as a shadow in your mind.

Good or bad, they all helped you write the store of your life, and shaped the person you are today.

They say, "Don't dwell on the past, but focus present and strive for the future!"

As stated above, the past helps the present create the future. Yes don't dwell on it, but definitely learn and draw from it. "Move forward and don't look back!" That's BS! Look back! Just don't go back... How else are you going to learn from your mistakes if you try to forget about them?!?

Your past is your past for a reason.
