Member-only story
Everything happens in the now.
A never-ending stream of moments in which we live our entire lives
The past is not a special time
But the accumulation of gone moments we remember
Or moments passed that we obsess over
We may remember them with nostalgia
The future and past are not real, they don’t really exist anywhere
They’re only an idea, a string of snapshots of moments we remember that
We organize in our brains into a narrative and think of as a linear experience
Sort of like a movie is just a series of frames
Past and future are not worth dwelling on, they are nowhere to be found
