Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
I wish I could think more of the future but it seems so hazy, under a cloud. The future would be good to think more of if one had a precision in their plans and ideas for it. As for me I seem to be floating like a butterfly through the days the present into the future.
I most definitely think of the past more because in its memories and experiences are linked my present and future. Every memory holds significant for me to the person I am and the person I will be for I believe I’m continuously evolving.
If you do read my blog you will know I cling dearly to past memories in almost everything I set to write. It’s because the past holds a mingling of joy, sorrow, grief, longing, desperation, dreams all captured in my soul.
It’s as though the past keeps adding layers to you long before it has gone while the future is just a mist. I feel that only my past can carry me where I should be. It interconnects to people, places and reminisces which make up my being.
Would I have wanted my past to be any different? No I feel it’s every detail spreads out another tile for me to walk on. It spreads out the future. All the while not giving away what will happen even in the next minute but as a tiny force driving me to better days, a better future.
We maybe separated sometimes even from our present with scattered thoughts and distorted dreams but we may never be separated from the past. It’s like a giant orb revolving deep within our chests making us ready to grasp what’s next.
My past lies within me
It maybe dark or it maybe bright
It may even have colours of yellow and blue
The future though is a white fog
Never really beckoning
Always leave me wondering
This the reason
I hold the past in me
Gently nudging me
Silently watching me
I loved this answer prompt for it made me go deep and it means something to me.
Your past is your storyboard, your compass and can shepherd you through everything.
