our inaction

(a short ramble)

Instant replay, rewind. What happened, what did we do wrong, what could we have done to correct our errors? It's so easy for our minds to look back on what happened, and imagine a rosy scenario of what could have been.

Instant replay, rewind. Why is it that all the memories we want to forget replay again and again?

Instant replay, rewind. Can we learn to replay our happy memories without a sigh of nostalgia?

Instant replay happens when we're truly alone with our thoughts. There are those of us who can only dwell in the past, pressing replay over and over and over. And then, there are those of us who press replay, laugh, and continue onwards.

Lesson to be learned: stop hitting rewind. stop hitting pause. start hitting "play."
