Currently listening to: Someone You Loved – Lewis Capaldi
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you’re not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
Do you think it’s worse to constantly dwell in the past or constantly worry about the future?
Prompt snagged from: TCMC
Both are pretty bad TBH, both can be paralyzing in their own way—because they pull me away from the present.
For me, I do both. I catch myself replaying things from the past—conversations, mistakes, moments where I felt like I messed up. I’ll sit there mentally circling the same scene over and over, blaming myself, wondering what I could’ve done differently. I am my worst critic.
Then there’s the future, I get caught up in what might happen, and I start spiraling—what if I don’t meet my goals? Will I make X amount of money by the next three or five years? Can I retire before I turn 65 years old? What if I fall short? What if I fail? I hate asking people for help because I don’t want to seem weak or stupid, so then I fester in my thoughts. And around and around, I go.
