attachment to a timeline
creates distraction in the present
no. caring isn’t the issue.
the more attached you are,
the more you are increasing
your inevitable suffering
enjoy
this moment
all that it brings
without attachment
to it continuing
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”—
