мыслительный поток...

Мои родители на протяжении многих лет ничего не меняли в моей комнате. Она так и стояла, ожидая, что я в неё вернусь. Первой пропала моя кровать - она заменилась диваном для гостей. Потом, пропали сто лет не ношенные шмотки. В какой-то момент, я забрала свои любимые книги, и дырки на книжной полке заполнились дешёвыми трёх часовыми

иногда очень хочется жить прошлым, но никогда не стоит этого делать.

[paulinka]

Why not?

[3ebc]

потому что ничем хорошим это никогда не заканчивается. what's gone is gone. зацикливаясь на прошлом, слишком многое пропускается в настоящем.

And what if what you have left behind is better than what you have before you?

[3ebc]

life's tough. you can't bring back something the same it used to be. if there is nothing better in front of you now - there will be something in the future. but if you keep looking back, you'll miss it.

C'mon, hun, we all keep telling ourselves that b/c something like that is actually easier to believe; otherwise, we can just roll over and get depressed... Also (and that has actually been my motto for a very long time), b/c having regrets is worse than being a loser.
And looking back is not necessarily living in the past, sometimes it's just being honest with yourself.

regrets are not productive. "being honest with yourself" about missing out on things in the past is not productive either. hence there is nothing useful that can come out of that.

life is not just profit, you know, it's often a lot of non-material baggage - and that, my friend is just not classifiable.
You should drop by for a ciggy. I think I missed you.

yes, it's everyone's God-given right to be irrational and hang on to useless things from the past - doesn't make it right ;)

yeah, I need to make my way to the land-down-under one of those days
