i am trying not to walk down memory lane quite so often as i did.
walking towards the future without looking back is difficult for me but i need to do it.
anybody else in this boat here?

Yes i have similar experiences. Lately i’ve been reminiscing quite a bit about my years as a teenager growing up in rural SA. Makes me feel sad. At the time i couldn’t wait to grow up and get out into the real world and make it on my own. Now i wish i had treated that time with more care. But then again, maybe not. I started getting seriously depressed in my teenage years.

i wonder if my looking back so much is detrimental to my mental health.
at any rate i’ve had enough of it and want to move on in life. this time with out looking at my past.
i want to get on with my life and build a future for myself even though i am 62 years.
i feel i have enough skills now to do what i gotta do. hopefully i am right.

That’s a good idea. I need to fill some plans for the future. I hope I am able to do this.

I wish I could just live in the present. Not dwell on the past and not worry about the future. But I do both.

I was in that position for many years when I was depressed and suicidal. Then, later after my depression was gone, I was stagnant and in a stagnant relationship and stayed stuck in the present and the Now for many years. Right now, that relationship is over and I’m starting to think about a new life and a new future of possibilities.
