Life Lesson
For a long time I dwelled on the future. I constantly thought things like "I just have to deal with the bad stuff now and then it will get better", "this will be better for my future", and shit like that. There was a short time that I dwelled on the past, thinking about what I should have done and kicking myself for past mistakes. Everyone knows it does no good to dwell on the past since you can't change it. I am starting to realize that doing everything for the future isn't much better. Life is short and you never know what's going to happen, so live for today. Fuck the past, its over. Fuck the future, it might never come. Don't slave away at a job you hate for a promotion you may never get, material goods that will ever be enough, or a retirement fund you might not live to use. Worry about being happy NOW. I am about as poor as I've ever been but I'm a lot happier than I've ever been. I'm not saying don't save or don't work hard, I'm just saying don't make yourself miserable over it.
