Getting past my past... was a process, a very serious process indeed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We all carry our past. But it is a case of getting on with your life and improving it, if you want to.
My past is a bit checkered.
When I left prison, I had to figure out how to embrace my past.
I realized I've spent all my life creating a past.
I wanted to get away from my past and everything connected with it.
I can be like that: forgetting how hard it was to do something after I'm past it.
Sometimes I think back to everything I've been through, and I wonder, 'Man, how the hell did I get here?'
Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.
In a way, my past gives me a little credibility. Not that anybody cares what I did nineteen years ago, but I did have a career, and a legitimate one, before I met my husband.
You can't dwell in your past but move forward, look forward. That's it.
