Does your past define who you are today?


Some of us have had a really bad past but does that define who you are today? Some would say yes because of the experiences and things that have happened to them has shaped them to be who they are today. Some would say no because it is the past and we all need to move on and always better themselves. In my personal opinion, I think yes, your past does somewhat have a factor to who yoy are today.

I have a friend whose dad died at a very young age. She seeks and thrives on attention from men as she never had a dad and that attention from a male figure from a young age. She flaunts herself to men and she has a terrible reputation. She will go to any length to let a male notice her. My question here though is, is it her fault? In one way I would say no. This is how she has been brought up and some people feel it is the only way to carry on and live.  We also live in a society where it is ok to do this. On the other hand no, as she should know better than flaunt herself and receice attention in the wrong way. She can never hold together a stable relationship and I always feel the need to help her but there’s a saying “If you cannot help yourself, how are others going to help you”?



The most important thing to do is to never judge these people. No one knows what people have been through and it is simple ignorance to judge a person as soon as you meet them. Yes, there are things that might irritate us at first such as bragging about money, being loose etc. but do we know what has made them do that? Probably not at first. “Never judge a book by its cover” is a saying that I have become familiar with. Get to know people before you judge a person.
