sometimes i think too hard...
and here i stand, trying my hardest to move forward, but my feet seem to be cemented. cemented not to the floor, because i can freely move about, but cemented to some invisible force. i guess one can never truly move forward. what is forward? we all talk about living in the present. "living in the moment." can we ever really do that though? each second that passes by, each moment, they all become passing memories as they go by. this very letter that i type, each one is in the past. I hit the key and a mere moment later that time has become part of the past. the present is just a series of moments and memories of the very near past. the only way we actually "move forward" is upon reflection of the past... so therefore, there is no actual movement, just reflectiveness into the past! this is all related to the mind of course. lets talk about physically. we can only physically exist in the present. my body is here, but my thoughts rush through my mind. my movements are occurring, but i do not make a notion of realizing them until after the matter. in conclusion we can never truly flourish and live in the present. we dwell in and read experiences of the past. years away, or only a millisecond away, it's still the past. we can think about the future, and take the necessary steps to get there. So, we live in the past, we look to the future, and we only exist in the present.
