The past, present and future. All three of them are always happening and they don't stop for anyone. So it makes me wonder, should I just get up right now and seize the day like I mentioned in an earlier post or should I just relax and eventually get to it later? You see the present is a beautiful thing, it's constantly being captured through photos, films, social media platforms and various other forms. But in a blink of an eye what was just your present is now your past. Something very unique about the past is that it helps people move on from tragedy, pain and heartbreak as well as create unforgettable memories such as a wedding or a birth of a child. It lets us progress and regress as humans.
Then theres the future. No matter whats going on in the present I am ALWAYS thinking about the future. "What will I be like?" "How many kids will I have?" Will I be famous for writing like I assume i'll be?" "Will I end up with Russell Brand like 7 year-old me thought I would?" Just giving you a taste. Since I spend most of my present thinking about the future, and I since I assume i'm not the only one, does anyone feel the same as I? At the same time not knowing my future is somewhat unsettling. What I appreciate about the past is that the birth and death of every living thing is documented and acknowledged throughout their lifetime. Every decision you make shapes who you are and in turn helps create the future version of yourself.
One thing I love but also regret about my past, present and most definite future self is my passionate love for television and film. The reason why I loved it so much is because the comedy aspect of it helped my move on from a dissatisfied and hurtful place in my life. My present self loves it dearly because it inspires me to be creative and write screenplays and sketches that are hilarious and cheer people up when they give it a read. I assume my future self will also love it because everything around me will inevitably spark up creativity and make me want to start finding collaborators and people who want to film my work. The thing I regret about these three periods of time is everything I missed out on and probably will miss out on while I was watching all that t.v and film. Past me was so hard-headed and never wanted to step out of her comfort zone that I ended up missing out on memories and things I would never forget. But maybe thats okay. Maybe I spent the majority of my childhood hanging out at home so when I become this amazing adult I could experience all those things with a different perspective. Bottom line, time is crazy. It comes and go's as it pleases so I say we should all just grab on to the time we are given and hope we will get more in return and if we are careful with what we already have we might just get it.
