In Trasit from the Present to the Future

Sometimes it feels like we are running from the present to be in the future. By the time we reach the future will yearn for the past i.e. today's present.

The funny part is knowing all of this, and yet not being able to change. It's like we are on a treadmill and unable to press the pause and slowdown, for we are scared.

Scared and unprepared of what this slow down may feel like. We are scared of what if it slows us down from reaching the future and makes us confront the present. Yet, isn't the present what we really want...both for that's where life really happens, and future is curated. But (it's not that simple) as present is also where the troubles, pain challenges and imperfections lie.

Wonder if part of mental health is about making some kind of trade-off between our real but imperfect present and our perfect but elusive future.
