yesterday
isn’t real
it’s just memories
filtered through
your cognitive distortions
never accurate
or objective
but sometimes helpful
for providing opportunities
for understanding and growth
what choices you made
mistakes or successes
don’t define you
learn and move on
“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful. You’ll be too preoccupied with what so-and-so is doing, and why, and what they’re saying, and what they’re thinking, and what they’re up to, and all the other things that throw you off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations”—
always
you couldn’t be anywhere else
if you could be, you would be
if you could have been
you would have been
