The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.
I don't believe necessarily the past is in the past. It's eternal, it's all around us.

The past is where its supposed to be.
The beauty of the past belongs to the past.
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.

The past is what the past is.
