Quote by Stephen King

...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.

...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives

Summary

This quote suggests that as we journey through life, we are often unaware of the unresolved issues and memories from our past that continue to affect us. These "ghosts" symbolize the emotional baggage we carry, waiting for the right moment to emerge. We may not fully acknowledge their presence, but they persistently follow us, gradually catching up. The quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these ghosts in order to find healing and to prevent them from impacting our present and future.
