The past.
.
It's a funny thing when you think about it...
.
We think the past is behind us, moments that happened that are now over.
.
But the truth is the past is a part of the present and the future too.
.
Because our past lives on, they come with us into our present and future selves.
.
We let past moments live on in our minds, sometimes guiding our footsteps, sometimes haunting our dreams.
.
So the past is never really behind us, it is with us, always. And it is always changing.
.
How we feel about that previous moment and how we remember that previous moment, gives the past its life. It makes the past a living, breathing, changing entity.
.
So what might be behind us, never is truly left behind.
