The Past Always Leaves Its Traces

The morning sky wasn't like usual. This time it was gloomy. Perhaps it still longed for the night.
Like it or not, the things we've been through will always leave their mark. Whether it's just a tiny speck or transforms into something much larger than we imagined.
Once we've experienced something, if it brought us joy, there's always a desire to return to that moment. If it brought sadness, we want to avoid it, along with everything associated with it.
Such behavior mostly works in the subconscious. We suddenly find ourselves acting a certain way. Forgetting that it's the imprint of the past leaving its traces.
