Your past is what makes you the person you are today.... I personally am a much stronger person than I was years ago because of the things that happened to me in my past.. I agree that we cannot live in the past and should not dwell on the past otherwise its not possible to move to the future but every once in a while there is something that happens or reminds us of things in the past....sometimes it brings a smile to our face and sometimes it makes us remember the pain,,, as long as we can let go we will be fine !!!!
