In response to Sadje’s Sunday Poser:

I don’t live in the past, and I don’t live too far into the future either.
I try to stay in the here and now.
The past has its place — it teaches, it shapes — but staying there too long can become heavy. The future also has its place — it gives direction and hope — but living too far ahead can create unnecessary worry.
I once heard a saying:
“Those who live in the past suffer depression. Those who live in the future suffer anxiety.”
I don’t remember who said it, but it stayed with me.
For me, peace is found in the present moment.
That’s where life is actually happening. That’s where I can breathe, feel, and simply be.
