:: advice: live in the now ::

vesperstina · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 31, 02

For as long as I can remember I'd always be thinking about what's going to happen next, and what happened in the past. Total preoccupation, it takes so much energy!

Advice is; forget about all that shit. It's gone, it's not here yet.
Believe in the now, and put all energy towards it. It could save your life. <3

i am very much a believer in the now :)

i used to always think about the future and set myself up for disappointment

but i'm a dreamer :)

Take life one day at a time :)

yeah, but by doing that, i find u don't think about the future enough in turn fucking yourself over. it's al about finding a nice medium between the two. Easier said than done though

well, i think it would be stupid if one didn't think about the future at all, still take it into consideration, just don't over-pre-occupy with that shit. i just take the time to do that before i sleep.

I agree with Chris.. cause if your not in the inbetween.. then you can plan ahead type thing..

yeah i agree, you have to think about your long term plans to a certain extent
i also agree about the part about not thinking about the past, i mean, you can't go back in time. so don't sweat it! it may seem like a big deal now, but in a month, you'll see how insignificant it was!

me....i live for the future, occassionally living in the present
i know this will be something i will regret, so i'm trying to change myself....but when you have everything laid out for you, it's sorta hard to go against it
