Make a new future! Everything will fall into place.
How do you get over the past?

I'm alot like you, only worse sometimes. I'm one of those people who is never really comfortable wherever I am, and I always wish I was somewhere else doing something else. I don't know how many times I've said "I would give anything to be back in high school," and "I wish this day was over."
Then my dad, who has never said anything remotely inspirational or emotional or thought-provoking said to me, "Be careful, if you wish away tomorrow, then soon you'll be wishing away a week, and then a month. Before you know it, you'll be thirty and you will have wished your life away. Just live in today, not yesterday and not tomorrow. Things will happen."
Since then I've concentrated on making the most out of each hour I'm awake. It worls pretty well.

This is a BAD situation. But I found the answer!!!!
I was kinda feeling the same.. I felt like life was passing me by and there was nothing left to grab onto. I am not ready to be old yet.. but that is what it happening. I missed all of my old buddies and all of the crazy shit we used to do. But I was not a part of that anymore.
So after sitting at home for a long time doing nothing.. I called them up and met up with them... now it is almost like the old days.. except I am not in jail... yet.
To cut the babble.. if you miss the past.. arrange your current situation to fit some of it in with you. There is no way I could ever change into what I miss.. but if I can capture some of it one day a week.. that it better than nothing.

can't say this is a good coping mechanism... but a recent event in my memory seems to have been filed under "happened to someone else" in my head. i can't explain why or how.

Try to find the CD "Pure Anus" by Sublime.. it was never in print.. but if you know where to look you can find it... it will fix everything.

I used to always say that if there was one period in my life that I could live over and over again, it would be the summer after I graduated from high school. I fell in love for the first time, had a decent job for a 19 year old, was staying up late all the time, and had a blast.
I've slowly come to realize that while I enjoyed a lot of the things about that time in my life, I can't cherry pick the wonderful things out of it and ignore the rest. There were bad things about that time too, and I wouldn't want those back at all.
There were many wonderful things about that time in my life, but I'm sure there will be different wonderful things as I get older, and I'll take the new experiences over the repeats.

Some solid advice. Thanks guys. I feel a little better now, then again, it's daytime.
I think I will just look to the past and revisit this thread whenever I start dwelling on the past again.
Like someone else said tho, you can't cherry pick the good things out of the past.

I think about different parts of the past every night including things I wish I had done. But, lately, specifically, and it's kind of hard to explain, but what I miss the most is the good feelings certain old relationships used to bring me in the beginning. Those feelings of excitement and almost euphoria you get from being around or hearing from that person. I wish I could bottle up that feeling. But that's the problem, it is only in the beginning...then day by day, it is disintegrates into nothing, and you don't even realize that is what's happening until you have already gotten to the point of nothingness. No more euphoria. No more excitement. This person is almost a stranger to you now.JohnyJuice said:
