carpe diem man...i voted for present.the past isn't all that important imo,but the future is much more important.you can't change what happened in the past,but what matters is what you do NOW,and they can influence waht you do in the future...

i'm writing this 2 and a half years later. it's good to see i haven't changed lol

i'm trying not to live in my (shitty) past. thinking about the future and how my present actions can influence it.

Hm, I'm living just for the future although I cannot get the past out of my head. Also I make the same mistakes I have done before, but I surely can say that stressing about my future has affected my health already. And I really hate to think about the future.

I totally agree with your point, that's the way I behave too

That sound a bit to much like me. There's far to much unneeded stress going through my head about every time but the present.

Yeah, and the worst part of it - you just can't stop it. I've tried to forget about things I shouldn't and later it caused more problems than it were before. It would be better if I stressed and actually done something, but nah - I'm sitting on a golden cloud and thinking it all can be solved without my help.

Okay, now I've complained enough.

If I think too much about the future, I very quickly get depressed. I just can't see a bright horizon ahead of me. I know that the past and the present is going to come up and bite me in the ass some day, but I prefer not to think about it. Perhaps if I get the hell out of here, I could start fresch somewhere else, and chances are I'll attempt to do that some day. Today, I live in the present and the very near future, have lots of fun, listen to my metal, and try not to think of the fact that I don't believe there is a bright future for me.

Actually, if I could stop time somewhere around here, there is a chance that I would, because things are probably gonna start changing for the worse soon. I sure as hell don't see the situation getting better, but right now I don't mind the way life's flowing along. A shame it probably won't remain this way.

My thoughts are always in the past when I'm absent minded, and simply mulling over different experiences. I derive sentiments when I contemplate those memories, I can't help it. However, it's nice to reflect on every now and again.

In some aspects, usually those that are related to the outside world as opposed to my aimless thoughts, I am more inclined to act with regards to the present. Nevertheless, it always depends on the situation. When it comes to school, all of the actions I take are done with concern to my future, mostly for financial stability later on, and finding a career/subject that interests me, so that I can be relatively content when I'm at work thereafter. I try to envision a rather vague, but realistic future so that I will not be disappointed too gravely. After all, you never know what can happen! For all you know, you are dead tomorrow.

Otherwise, I am rather impulsive and just act in the present, with little regard to my past or future. This again depends on the situation, as I am one to learn from my mistakes. So, depending on the severity of the situation, if there is need to, I will contemplate on past events that are relevant to my present situation and evaluate whether what I'm doing is really beneficial for me or those around me. When it comes to plans with my friends, or whatever the issue may be, I just act with it and go with the flow.

I guess I'm a mix of everything, really! However, ultimately I went with the past as mentally and emotionally it seems I am more attached to that time.

I would like to see the future in a good way but all the news from this pessimistic society turns my head to live for the present. Of course I like to preserve and extend my life so I don't make many excesses, but usually I like to try new stuff (especially food) and do something new everyday. From the past I can learn from my and other mistakes and because of that I have a huge respect and curiosity for history.
