About This Quote

For some, excavating the past isn’t an adventure, it’s more akin to tearing a Band-Aid off an open wound. People who are fascinated by the past often come across things that are not pleasant, but they have the ability to deal with them in a positive manner. They are not afraid of what is uncovered because they refuse to let go of their history.
