You think about past,
You think about the future.

I was talking to my friend and we always reminisce the past, think about the future, and forget about the now. But when we remember to talk about the now...we don't like it.

The future is called &#039;perhaps,&#039; which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you.
