Worry-Wort

“My obsession with the past is not one of aspiration! I am merely contemplating my future.”

Don't even ask, I'm not sure myself...

Jim: “What should I do? I can't stop thinking about all the bad experiences I've had.”

Doctor: “It's best not to dwell on the past, consider the future instead.”

Jim: "Great... rather than worry about what has happened to me, I'm now thinking about all the things that could."

Ah, the never ending thought cycle of the neurotic.

I went down memory lane, not so long ago. Bored half the people around me while I was at it(an achievement for a 20 year old). “You're still not over it?”, “Stop complaining, it happened ages ago!", were just some of the responses I got. Eventually, my family & friends asked me, “Why are you so hung up on the past?”

I just told them, “Because I'm contemplating the future.”
