To know where you stand in this life. We need to know where we're headed, and what it is we want. We have to think about what's important to us, and what makes us happy.

We should always try to make sure we know who we truly are. And to never lose ourselves because of our situations or the people we let into our lives.

But it's also important to remember who we were, who we've been. Because if you forget who you used to be, it's not as easy to appreciate where you've gotten.

I became the person I am today by remembering my past, but not living in it. I get closer to where I want to be by remembering what I've been through and wanting to avoid ever experiencing those events again.

I remember my past, I live in my present so I can build the future I desire.
