Past is Present

What I've quoted below is not a cry for help or being posted for any particular reason other than I saw this in a recent book I read and it resonated with me for a variety of reasons (ask me if you want to know more). It could also be timely with what has happened to and is happening to many people & families here in 2020. 

As Faulkner said: “The past is never dead. It's not even the past.” Every little thing that a human being has experienced comes with them into the present. Every experience influences every choice - and when it comes to traumatic experiences, the past takes up almost all of the available space.
