One feels that the past stays the way you left it, whereas the present is in constant movement; it's unstable all around you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
The past becomes a texture, an ambience to our present.
I am connected to the past in a way that keeps me going forward. Every leap forward that I make is by reaching back and firmly getting a footing in the past, and pushing forward as hard as I can.
Sometimes the past seems too big for the present to hold.
We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.
I don't believe necessarily the past is in the past. It's eternal, it's all around us.
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.
The sense of one's past is so strong and forms our sense of self so strongly, it will always fascinate, elude and confuse me.
