The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do love the past but wouldn't want to live in it.
Everyone has a past, and the downside to my life is that the past gets dragged up.
I don't like to dwell on the past.
When I left prison, I had to figure out how to embrace my past.
The way you remember the past depends upon your hope for the future. And if what you see in your future has no hope, it has no potential, then you view the past that brought you to here as not very good.
Don't ignore the past, but deal with it, on your own pace. Once you deal with it, you are free of it; and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don't, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you.
I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.
We all carry our past. But it is a case of getting on with your life and improving it, if you want to.
I love being able to escape my past, even though my past was great.
I'm just fascinated by the past. You know, both by the possibilities it holds and by the complete tyranny of it, the way it sort of keeps you in this stranglehold and makes you want things that you no longer have and you can never get back.
