Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, why would one want to do so? The past always has something to do in our lives. Whether we're burying it, conquering it, dreading it, regretting it, forgetting it, or even repeating it, it's there. And sometimes, it goes away. But, then it comes back.

I just went through my journal and deleted some s**t. Even though the purpose of the journal was to log s**t away somewhere I could always retreat to. Well, I realize now that sometimes, things aren't meant to be kept track of. The past is 1/4 of our lives. 1/4 is the future, 1/2 is the present, and the final 1/4 is the past.

What's gonna come is gonna come, and we'll have to meet it when it does. What's happened can't be changed and shouldn't be lingered on, right? All I can do now is learn from mistakes. What's gone by is now simply gone. From my journal, at the least... So, if you were to ask, "What's on your mind?" I'd say...

Dreading the Present
Avoiding the Future
Weeping on the Past
