We are the sum of what we have lived. Every decision, every moment of happiness and suffering shapes us. We cannot separate ourselves from what we have done or from what has happened to us. Everything is within us and makes us who we are today.

And yet we move forward. We leave things behind, we change, and we seek to become better. Learning from what we have lived is the only thing that allows us to move ahead. It is not about forgetting but about using what happened to make better decisions and build a clearer life.
