i thought this was a sincere question but ig its a test question so here lol, yeah tbh someones past does matter it gives you a sense of who they were as a person. but honestly your pass actions dont make you who you are. its like you did something you regret and you tried to change and felt like you did and someone doesnt think you have at all. its wrong itsnt it? its possible to leave your past behind you but it takes a few steps leave it completely. only you know who you are as a person, you know yourself the most.
