Straight to the point…how do you live in the present? Don’t you think about the past?
Naturally I think about the past. I think that’s relatively normal especially when you go through the cycles of grief! When I take a trip to the past NOW, I smile at the wonderful things I’ve done.
However, I know I can’t live in the past. I’ve had most of my long term memories erased, so I really only have my pictures and videos. I’ve been told what I have experienced is meant for sci-fy. But this is my life!
I have to live in the present, continue taking hundreds and thousands of photos and really try to be present in the moment so I can retain my memories. That is my weak point. I can’t retain most memories past 20 minutes. Agin, this is some sci-fu stuff right?
My husband and I are set on creating new memories! The past is the past and I have many happy pictures and videos of it. But we can’t stay stuck in the past. You need to put on your big girl, or big boy, pants and keep trucking forward! Be excited for the future! There’s so much waiting for you right around the corner.
If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here. :)
