you know, it's funny, i was wondering the other day what i'd do if i had a time machine. whether i'd go back and change anything in my own life. and i thought: no, i wouldn't want to do that. because i like who i am now -- i'm not satisfied with who i am, mind you, and i feel like i have a long way to go -- but if i changed anything in my own life, i might not be the same person i am now. and i like this person.
of course, it is a shame i can't go back and somehow get myself to be more athletic as a child...
ah, living today -- that's the holy grail, isn't it? i'm still trying to get there. i have moments of being solidly in the here and now, but it never lasts me very long. i'm always looking ahead to the worst possible outcome and plotting my strategy for how to deal with it. or looking back and feeling angry and upset that the past is poisoning my present.
