No single trail by itself constitutes the entirety of the park, which is much more comsiderable as a whole. Neither does any one particular experience constitute the whole of a person. Some trails are better than others, but they all belong. So too, are experiences. So what am I getting at with this faux-zen analogy? What I'm trying to tell you, is that you should go to the park and take some of your favorite Mexican food with you.

That squishy past can be harnessed as a springboard, even though it often seems like a swamp... you are not just the collection of past experiences... you are the processor/determiner of how those experiences affect your future.
