It starts to affect people around you, and you give off bad vibes. The past can make you a negative person, and the thing about negativity is that after a while, it starts to leave your body.

It is those memories that will remind us that we truly lived and existed on this plain. So when we are thirty and feeling the full weight of adulthood, it is those memories that will keep us warm at night. They’re the proof that we’ve lived through something and come out on the other side.
