Looking back, we all had a different past, some people might have had a rough past which is something a lot of people are going through right now, while some have experienced it earlier in life
therefore, knowing that most people are dealing with different kinds of problems from their past, still haunting them in the present.
Fortunately, most people overcome them with different kinds of methods, this could be through love and others through hate, which later in life shapes the road that you choose to go down on.
This is an interesting way of thinking, which is being presented in the short story “Kiss” by Elizabeth Baines.

Uddrag
When we look at the outer description of the three characters in the story, beginning with the woman
she is mostly being described as wearing a silver jacket and a green pair of sneakers, the women’s hair is blond and laid up in a ponytail and her skin is portrayed a bit colorless.
The woman’s mental state is very poor, she has had several mental illnesses, this is all due to the father, who has sexually abused the daughter throughout her childhood
which is even more traumatic since the mother had the chance to help save her daughter but hesitated at any given moment.
“Father looking up at her mother and smiling, [...] as if the night before, when the others were sleeping, he hadn't crept into the girl's room, hadn't hissed in her face afterward, it's just between you and me” (l. 36- 38).
This leads to several mental illnesses to deal with later on in life such as anorexia, her dropping out of college, lack of friends. In school, “he kept away from the other girls sat in the library at lunchtime” (l. 43-44).
She was so broken at one point she even tried to commit suicide, all of this let her become more of an introvert, she avoided people and became more insecure than ever before.
