About This Quote
To know who you are, you have to know who you haunt. When we have ghosts in our lives, we get the opportunity to get to know ourselves better. If we can see that our negative traits are just a reflection of our past, that allows us to become more aware of how we think and act in the present. We can then have a new understanding for why we behave the way we do.
By learning about who we were and what led us down a certain path, we can make a conscious effort to make different choices. This is a form of growth and self-discovery that is not possible without these hauntings.
