Past, present or future?

“I don’t care who you are

Where you’re from

What you did

As long as you love me”

Backstreet Boys – As Long As You Love Me

I’ve seen several movies in which the guy tells the girl (or viceversa) that he doesn’t care about her past, what she’s done, where she’s been etc… and that he only cares about the present and the future, and what their lives would be like from then on. And I guess he’s right. Nobody’s perfect, and we’ve all done things we’re not happy about and we’d like to forget, but isn’t that just running away? After all, the things we did made us who we are today, so if he doesn’t care about her past, is like saying he ignores parts of her.

Instead of ignoring one’s past, even if we believe that’s for everyone’s best, it’s best to know about it and accept it, because that’s what made us who we are today…
