    Strange title I know, but still ^_^

    This might probably link in with the "How do you see things" thread, in the most bizzarre way possible, but there is a slight link.

    Anyway, how do you generally think? Are you the type of person that "dwells" on past thoughts, memories and dreams - both good and bad?

    Do you like to live in the moment?

    Or are you a "forward thinker?" Someone that likes to plan ahead and dream of...well...anything in the future?

    I guess I'm a little mix of a forward and past. I like to plan how I deal with certain things, like work, play, events blah blah blah - I admit, I do think of myself in the future as well, it's a little scary but funny as well. I think of the past to remember friends (mostly) maybe things I'd rather forget about, happy stuff, things I've done... - you get the point

    So how would you explain your historical/futuristic/"down with the time" (shoot me if I ever say that again <_>) mind?

    I definitely live in the moment. I don't usually dwell on the past that often, and I don't really care about the future. I think solely about what is happening, and hope that it's going to have a good effect somewhere along the line.

    By the way...the YER MAM jokes are taking over my school - your signature makes me laugh.

    I tend to plan out the short-term future a lot (like, for example around now is the time I figure out how I'm going to make my day go tomorrow, when I need to wake up, etc) and I do dwell a little. I've gotten better at letting stuff go though.

    Great thread :)

    I think about the past, present, and future all the time. I'd say past and future are probably equal though, i'm always thinking about something that has happened or something i'm looking forward to happening.

    I dwell on the past a lot, because some of those events really affect me that had occured in the past, and that kind of...holds me back, somehow. I can't really explain it.

    Probably past and present. I think about the past a lot... mainly things I want to forget but also friends and good times. Other then that I just live in the moment and try to make it good.

    Not sure how to answer this, but I'm always thinking about the past. What I did and what I think I should have done. When it comes to the present, I always make mistakes. I fear the future, although I always think about what it might be. I have a lot of time to myself, so most of my life, you can say about 83% of it, is thinking of the past and what I would like to happen in the future.

    Past cannot be changed, so i never try figuring out what has happened.
    I kinda think of things that cannot be explained by the human mind. They may have never happened or will never happen. But i also think that makes me a psycho :p
