Virginia Woolf expressed that that through living in the moment, we can really understand the emotions we feel, the things we experienced, the words we’ve said and things we’ve done until we look back with the maturity we’ve gained. It’s only when we look back, that we appreciate the things that have happened to us which is what makes the past so beautiful. Another aspect that the past brings us is education, regrets, and lessons that we don’t know are lessons, regrets, and memories because we are living in real time.
