Although I find the concept of "memories of the future" interesting and that I am talking about revisiting memories, I have never before in my life lived so much in the present. I think that's why I was in such state of awe when I saw that video. It was a moment I simply relived out of curiosity and it touched me. I did not watch the other 8 or 9 vids I had in that one folder, I was not even tempted to do so. The truth is that there aren't that many moments that I'd care to relive, so I don't really revisit much? It's not to say my life has been crap. There have been great moments, but that were great at the time. Now they don't make sense. People who stayed in my past generally just stay there. It's like the many different moments I've had aren't even mine anymore to relive. They sort of belong to the past, because that's where they are.
This is really weird for me, I used to live in the past, I loved pictures. Now I still love them, but I like the ones I take today. Tomorrow they're old already. I used to love telling stories of what happened, now I can't anymore, nothing that has been is as interesting as what is. I have no idea if that makes any sense to you, or anyone for that matter. BUT I have to see time as something linear, though, I don't have good abstract thinking skills, so everything that has happened follows a sequence of before and after, but what really matters is right now. Actually, now is the ONLY thing that matters. I hardly even get it, but that's how I feel about it.
How often do you REVISIT MEMORIES of your past?
