The past we imagined

"The future is there, looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become. And from where they are, the past behind us will look nothing at all like the past we imagine behind us now."

Almost a year ago, I posted this line from William Gibson's Pattern Recognition. It still bothers me to think that my past (good and bad) is not fixed. Permanent. That today's past will look different to a future me. On the other hand, I'll probably feel differently tomorrow.
