none of these options work for me. My past has shaped and formed the person I am today, and the life I have. To leave the past behind would be like removing the foundations of a building; each block (experience) whether positive or negative is part of a whole
I can't leave my past behind, or maybe it's I don't want to. I am who I am because of all I have done, both good and bad, experienced and learned. I'm good with that, have learned from it, and continue to work towards a better me, a more content me.
