Present

I often realize that, I waste a lot of my time thinking about the past. Thinking of how I could have changed my actions, could have spoken different words (maybe more bitter) or could have handled the situation with love and understanding. Or probably I am thinking about my future. Always running an imaginary video in my head about tomorrow (mostly the way I want it to be). Sometimes I even have negative thoughts about the future. And in the end I somewhere regret that in this process of past corrections and future assumptions I barely concentrate on my present.
What’s the whole point in re-living the past (in a different manner or maybe similar way at times) and busy demonstrating the future (where everything is just perfect) and ending up losing every second of my present. . .?
I pray to God to help me never forget about the wonderful gift He has given me i.e. Present and help me make the most out of it.

Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel most days. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.”
