Defines You

I have a question. I was talking to a friend of mine and he seems to had come to the realization that he was a jerk to me. I know, shocking considering that he left me at Worlds of Fun to hang out with someone else, but anyway, he asked why people think he's such a bad person because his past doesn't define him.

I think that your choices define who you are, but does your past define who you are?

I am really curious and even though there are two people out there that read my site, I would like some response. What do you think?

I have a past. I haven't always made the best choices. Does your past define you?

Plus: What does who you are friends with say about you? (If that even makes sense.)
