The past has a gravity. You know you're not supposed to live there. You know forward is the direction. You know that revisiting certain memories or decisions or conversations does not change them. The knowledge doesn't stop the return.
What you keep going back to — what's worth examining — is usually information. The past is trying to tell you something you haven't fully heard yet. Or it's loss that hasn't been fully mourned. Or it's the person you used to be who needs acknowledgment.
