Do you long for the past or look eagerly toward the future?

Do you ever catch yourself thinking about years that have past? What about years to come? Do you ever wish that you could go back in time, or speed things up? I think about both on occasion. When I find myself wanting something, or wishing something would happen I tend to look to the future where I might one day get what I am wishing for. An example of this is wanting to move away from my parents, and support myself and my family on my own. I am responsible for making that happen, and by attending college I am getting one step closer every day. Getting a good education means getting a good job. Most things in life are not handed to you, you have to earn them. I believe you have to work for what you want, and the only way to do that is by trying your best and working hard. When I look towards the future, I think of all the things I can one day have, but I do not wish it to come too fast. I like to enjoy the days I have; there is nothing more enjoyable then spending my days with the people I love.
On days when I am feeling a little blue or down I tend to think of the past. I think about all of the things that I have already accomplished, and all of the support I have had along the way. I love to think about when I was growing up, and how caring my family was (and still is). They have been my rock, and I would not be where I am today without them. I think about how it felt to be a child. How I never had any worries and my days were spent playing. Wasn't it nice to wake up and have no problems? All I thought about was what was for lunch or wondering where I was going to get to go that day. It was nice not knowing what the real world was about, and just being able to enjoy the simple days. Even though I look towards the future and think of the past, I do not wish for one to hurry up and come or wish to go back. I love my life, and enjoy every day.
