This is a kind of fatalism, that because something happened in the past, then it was pre-determined and could have been predicted. This can often manifest, for example, for people who had a dysfunctional or abusive childhood, and so it feels like a kind of destiny to always be alone and avoiding intimacy. But logically, although the past flows into the present, events don’t have to be linked and there is no predestiny. Yes, childhood events can influence our lives, but WE can influence our lives also.
The present is free
Before’s not now
F*** your past
Gone’s gone
