The past wins, hands down. Thinking of the future, beyond worrying about it, is not a place I go very often. I should do it more.
Rehashing the past, ruminating about what’s already happened, what I said, what I did, is my forte. But I come by it honestly, my Dad’s a pro at it and taught me well.
I’m trying to get better at letting this stuff go and recognizing it is the first step.
How foolish it is to let something that’s over and done with, take up space in your brain and keep revisiting it. How foolish.
The present is a good place to be and I need to continuously remind myself of that.
On the flip side, I think that if I spent more time thinking or imagining the future, that could be a good thing. Planning. Setting goals. That’s something I suck at. I’ve never been a planner. I’m a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal, in the words of Pretty Woman (it was something like that).
