How often do you look back?

well there are 2.7% of people on this site that actually live in the moment, like we all should, but most don't

i think about it every day. there are a select few here that really know what im talking about. but i look back at the road i started on, and i (thank all that is holy) took an abrubt turn. god damn if it didnt straighten me right out. i made a major decision, and contrary to what my old stoner friends believe, it was the best of my entire life to date.

I look back on my life about every day; how things went wrong, what i could have done differently at certain points. But I also try to look back on good stuff. I'd say I'n pretty happy with my life right now and I'm glad how things have turned out.

I think about things from the past every day. Not so much thinking about regrets and past history that I'd change, although I do think of those from time to time, but I mean thinking about good things in the past. I think that's just normal for people with a functioning, introspective brain. It doesn't mean we live in the past. It just means we reflect. You have to look at where you've been before you can know where you're going in the future, if you ask me.

I think, too, when you have surroundings and pictures and possessions that reflect a family's history, it's natural to look back, even if it's only for a brief moment. I get very sentimental when I see our wedding pictures or my son's baby pictures and realize he's a grownup young man now and that my days as a bride and a mother to a young child are behind me. I look forward to someday being a grandmother, however, so that always perks me up if I begin to dwell on this subject.

Man, i have changed sooo much in the last few years (eventhough im only 19) but still, i came from a really bad part of the province that im living in... sooo bad that i almost died from a hells angles bombing a few years ago, had been put in the hospital a few times from just walking threw my small town at night. ive had friends addicted to various drugs (not gonna list them, marijuana only forum) and some that have died for overdoses or have gone to jail.

Im in university now... i think almost every week about what would have happened to me if i decided not to go to university... and im so glad that i went, ive had some horrible things happen to me and some of my friends, but ive always told myself that im better than what ive been surrounded with and that i should reach for what ive always wanted and not look back...

haha... i think about this a lot... and i just wish i could have helped some of my friends more. To get to where i am now, but i realize that you cant help everyone...

I think back on my life alot, especially when i get a person back in my life. i think about the memories we have had before, i keep all that in my head (apparently its more important than school) who would of thought. but I dwell and that can get bad

I am a very analytical person as well, so for all those who are like me you know what its like

but i think alot about my life and how much i have grown and matured in this last year

Almost on a daily basis. And especially when I'm drunk I guess that's why I'm so crazy. Always thinking about the past...There's one thing in particular that I really fucked up that still haunts me and will haunt me forever. So if you're out there Whitney, I will always love you. :jointsmile:

Everyday. Things used to be a lot different for me. I know I'm better off now, but I miss the people I used to be friends with

I think about every now and again but it doesnt seem to phase me like it does others..."everything tends to unfold as it should"
