Seven Degrees Left of Center

Stop dwelling on yesterday.

Once again, I am starting a day with a near-blank slate. Yesterday had faded into that gap in my brain where things disappear. I haven't been writing for the past week or so, and it is starting to show.

What I am working on is not so much the fading past as the bright future. The future has important moments, and the present is the precious moments. These are things I have had to relearn. I have spent too much time on the past or trying to recover the past, and I have missed out on some of the present.

Take it from me: Learn to appreciate the present and look forward to the future. There is little to nothing to gain from dwelling on the past.
