Memories about future

17 Dec

George W.Bush said: “Never think about the mistakes you made. Think about the mistakes you will make.”
These past months I’ve been living in my memories, haunted by my fears from the past.
I believe we are what we do and we get what we see (of course, we all have our secrets) and we should be aware and responsible of the consequences of our actions. Also, karma is a bitch – if you are into those kind of things.
As far as I am concerned, my past is divided into dreams vs. nightmares: there’s the nice memories, loaded with positive feelings, which always put a smile on my face when I think of them, and there’s the ashamed moments, panic moments, sad moments that I totally want to forget about. People always tell you to think about the future, plan ahead, picture yourself there, doing that etc. But how can you not think about the past and the decisions you took earlier? Isn’t being experienced in fact having memories/a past?
I am the optimistic type, I usually see the full part of the glass, but there’s days when I regret my actions. I am also the type that thinks after opening the mouth. I guess the first trait comes as an excuse for the second one :)

Did it ever happen to you to desperately want to stop time? When good/happy things happen to you, do you ever feel in the same time sad because you realize there will be an end at some point?

They say future starts now. But isn’t now the present? What’s exactly the timeline for the present? 1 to 10 days? to 30 days? to 6 months? Who knows !?! It depends on what/who you relate to.
So future, bring it! Let me see what you got, so tomorrow I can think about my past.

    Boy, sometimes I feel like my life would be so much more simple if I only hadn’t had a past. There are times when I secretly hope that someone holding one of those devices from MIB will just flash me and get it over with.But then I suppose I wouldn’t be who I am and would do the same crappy choices over and over again. Somehow, dealing with the past it the hardest task that we do in our present.

    Yea, I know! Those things from MIB would be so useful :) There are times when I wish I could just press the delete button, but there are memories I will cherish forever.
    My problem was that right now, I am dwelling way too much upon some things that happened. I wish they had an expiration day, like, in 26th of December this day of your life will be forgotten.
