     I think that experiences in infancy can affect many things, however at this time I believe it is to some extent unreasonable to make such assumptions. Though through experiments studies and gain knowledge of the future I may be proven wrong, this is a topic that I myself am not 100% certain enough about to answer.

     I believe we should not turn away from our past, but I don't exactly think prisoners of it either. We all have the ability to alter the way we act over time, at the same time however if we ignore our past altogether in the mistakes we've made will haunt us to an even greater extreme. For instance if NASA had not modified their rocket design following the first failed experiment and we would never reach the moon. I see people changing their lives every day whether it be the way that they talk or even just the way they walk no matter what their history is. I guess another way to think of it is if you put your hand on a fire you get burned and pull your hand away, following that experience you never wanted do that again without thinking first.  It is in this way I believe we all "evolve", or adapt to our surroundings and the relationships in which we take part in.

     The reason why I believe that the experiences can not be the same even if the relationship is the same kind. Is simply that it can't be the same relationship because the other person is different in some way shape or form.  And it is this difference that causes the experience to be altered in comparison to previous relationships. However I still don't understand what exactly is attachment theory is and without understanding that I cannot give an honest answer as to the possibilities if this theory is correct or incorrect.

I definitely agree that we should not turn away from our past and that we have the ability to change the way we feel, act, and think. I think some times people choose to just live in their pain because making changes seems too difficult, which I think is so sad because once those changes are made, I do not believe that they will look at life through the same lens that they did before they turned over a new leaf. Once those changes are made, life will be so much better (not that life will be a bed of roses as new obstacles will come our way, but it will still be significantly better).
