Look into the past ?

By understanding who I was and where I was, I can find out who I am now and who I want to be. Sometimes life changes too much and there is no going back and most run with life and not against it people settle for the reality that they feel they exist within. A person tends to forget about their past all too often and they keep unnecessary memories as reinforcement for the present. The other part to this is that the self does not want to remember what they were like depending on what the circumstances were during that time. It may cause to much mental strain to put one's self back into that time frame but at the same time the existence of those memories that reality at the time can be crucial to future psychological development. The confusion needs to not be covered up or forgotten but tackled and resolved as much as it can be.

Another aspect is that people experience various new lives while growing up and this occurs due to changes in a family, school, college, friends, work etc. As these social and psychological environments changes, so does the individual. Flowing with time and allowing yourself to truly be one with time can be linked to consistent causality. As these new social landmarks take place a person is able to become a new person or evolved or devolved version of his/herself. Due to changes caused by experience, one may become confused and alienated and this will make them seek some kind of solidification some kind of rock to hold them down to reality. This one way people go back to the past or make bad decisions over and over again. The mind and heart of a individual may think that due to experience they want to not do this, because of this previously bad experience or that they should do this due to previous experience but this is not a ultimate truth. The reality of causality and choosing a path is not exactly in measure with experience. The existing new and old or relative social pressures make certain individuals react with seeking their past again. As soon as the past is approached this might give rise to particular behavioral patterns,memories and so forth that might have seemed comfortable at one time but do not now or cause these resurfacing character traits to cause more self destructive, unsatisfied and confused emotions to surface.
