What we have experienced in our childhood, stays on whether good or bad. Memories stay with you no matter what, right?
What we are taught early in life lays the foundation for our future. Sure it does. What we go through in our early life is also unforgettable. My early years between from 7/8 onwards was just unthinkable.
But, seeing where I am, I have made good progress (except the baggage)....
How about your early life that is still affecting you or that you treasure most?

I think that childhood experiences is the main one that affects a person's behavior/attitude greatly. If the person went through abuse, neglect, and/or other horrible moment(s), then he or she may easily go the path to destruction. Then again, a person who had a good childhood can also be influenced to self-destruct as well.

All memories whether from childhood or adulthood stay with you. It's how you deal with them that matters, whether you let them eat you up, or strive to learn and avoid them happening again, that is what defines us.

True. But from a sociological standpoint your past is said to be as invented as your future. As in, the emotions connected to your memories recreate those images in your mind and can distort them. By this standard, we create our emotional past as we create our emotional future. Kinda interesting to think about.

yes memories are great especially when they are fond. But, the downside is the scars left by bad memories hurts you deep down

My childhood was filled with being molested by my dad, which ended in an abortion before I was 13. ( well a week before I turned 13 ) Then on to promiscuity, drugs, booze, prostitution ....talk about baggage. The beatings that have carried on to seizures now years after. Broken bones and ..........makes me tired just thinking of it all.
Just tired, no triggers anymore when I think of it but it took me until just a couple years ago to reach this point.
When I think back to childhood I remember fond times with grandparents & great grandmother.
Fonder times when my dad was just being dad.
And I try to not think of the horrible times between 14 and 22 when I took my last beating.
However .........because of my health or lack of, I'm constantly reminded but I focus on being grateful for the man who pulled me out of my self loathing ways 27 years ago.
If you need to or want to vent or just let go........p.m. me. I am a good " listener " and I don't talk .Like (1)

Fond times with dad, never existed. Yes, Grandma the epitome of fondness. Thank you so kindly. It takes one to know what the other has gone through.

I offer the same to you if you want to vent. Well done for dealing with such hardships, not sure I'd be strong enough to do the same

It can, but there can be other disruptions that steer us down different paths, in my case my father died when I was 11, that had a pretty big impact on who I would become.
