They say, ” stop thinking about your past; you can’t change it. Stop thinking about your future; you can’t predict it. Think about the present. You can work on it.”
But what they don’t tell us is how the past, the present and the future are connected to one another. You wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for your past. You wouldn’t be able to make a better future if you did not know your past. And the present? There is no present. Think about it. The moment you say a word, it’s gone. It’s in the past now. The moment you do something, it becomes history. Everything is either gone or will be gone. The future? Your future is going to become your past someday. Then why should we concentrate on something that doesn’t exist?
The past is connected to the future. Because when you try to make a better future, you try to avoid creating the same mistakes you made in the past. To do this, in some point of your life, you’ll have to go back to the past. Reflect on your old-self. 😇 If you were weak, you would want to become stronger. If you were broken, you would want to repair yourself. You would want to change everything from temporary to permanent. And the present is something like this. Something like a period of change that does not wait for time. But nothing lasts forever. That is nature’s rule. Nothing should last. If there is a beginning, there will be an end. Likewise, if there is a future, there has to be a past.
How easy it would have been if only we had an option to erase those memories we don’t want and keep only the ones we cherish the most. Wouldn’t that be cool? In a few years time, everything that is happening right now will become history. It’s not that we are going to forget this, but it is something we would want to erase from our memories.
My mind has gone blank now. It is just wandering here and there. Like it’s not a part of my body anymore. To be honest, I am not sure if I’m alive or not. Feels like I’m alive but lifeless. The past is alive, the future lifeless. But yeah, I live by the rule that there exists no present. Just a period of time where you have to makes changes so that your future doesn’t become a copy of your past. That’s all I guess. I don’t even know what I am writing nowadays. I think I’ve given a warning in one of my posts. Dunno if that is making any effect, but thanks for bearing. Hope y’all will bear in the future too.
Farewell,
Jane
PS. I would really love to write something fun and interesting, but my stupid, ancient 500 year old brain has gone into meditation phase.
