Getting caught up in the past is like an anchor preventing you from move forward. Or something like that.

Inspired by life and stuff.

The Younger Me

Fellow blogger manifestationofgrace asks this question…

If you had the chance to provide your younger self with advice. What would it be?

I would probably say try to do better in math. So much of what you will do in the future depends on it. Don’t worry about trying to be popular, it is fleeting. Embrace those like you and show love to those who don’t get much. Be yourself and try to work on figuring out who that is. Don’t have any regrets. Don’t worry about not having a girlfriend (that is easier said than done as a teenager).

As a 45 year old dude I have lived a little and I have found that I can’t cry over what did or didn’t happen. Of course you wish for things to have been a little easier but it has made me the person I am today. As queen Elsa in the movie “Frozen” said “Let It Go” because you have your current life to lead. My wife keeps reminding me that I can’t remain hung up on what I didn’t have as a kid and a teen.

The Past

Good memories live there
So much in the reader view mirror.
The past is where you have been
It’s prepped you for the present and the future.
Your past can be awesome it can also suck
These are dreams of long ago
Is a place where you have been
For some they still live there
Your past doesn’t have to be your present or future

We all have a choice to embrace the present or pine for the past. Remember the future is only minutes away.
