  • Curse of Memory

    Humand mind can travel faster than speed of light. It keeps taking memory trains; jetting out of one decade and zooming into nostalgia all at the drop of a hat. This flight can take one back to what one misses the most.

    But it’s an adulterous relationship. Where one exists here but lives there. And truly never allows oneself to give their one hundred percent to the here & now. That which is tangible deserves your best. That which is present is who you are. Choose loyalty to the present, choose loyalty to thy self.

  • What if…?

    Isn’t that a lingering thought on most of your decisions from the past? Had I known what I ‘know today’, I would have decided differently – says the present mind.

    Time travel anyone?

    But funnily enough we know what we know, and we don’t know what we don’t know. Hence your decision was based on the best information available at that point in time. Even if you had to make the same decision over and over again – the outcome would barely be different!
    So, it’s just now, comfortably placed in your present that you can romanticize with the fantasy land of ‘What if…?’

  • Avoid or Embrace

    Obviously avoidance strategy works best. Whether it’s a pesky person, sticky situation or unpleasant memories, it’s easier to avoid that path and gradually push them out of your memory and lives.

    Look for the silver linings

    The harder path is to embrace, internalize and register the goodness. This makes the recall pleasant as you can train your mind to keep the memorable details and skip the rest. Easier said than done, try journaling the two side by side and you’ll be surprised by your resilience and strength.
