"The only way to move on is to let go of the past."
There are some who say that the past does not matter anymore; it is the person who is in the present that matters, the person who will become ... someone better.
At the very same time however, I wish to know someone's past... to know what kind of a person they were, that make them who they are today.
I don't mean to pry; it seems a little nosy. I just want to know. Is knowing necessary at all?
