There is this saying; that the bus that is going to hit you has already left the depot. It means different things to different people but the gist of it is that you should not worry about the future. The future will handle itself. Some people see destiny as something you make. But I had a new revelation; maybe the bus has already hit you. Maybe you are in a hospital bed of life and all your future sins have been paid for in full.

People are often more than they seem at the point when you see them. There is no direct way to aggregate a person into a whole. We all have to do something and the things you have done before are all bookmarks in our journey to the present. They can't be all things to everyone. We exist in points. We choose the best version of ourselves to fit the situation. It is a survival technique. Never curse the things you survive. Never betray your former self.

There is always the temptation to redo things in the past in the hopes of changing the future. The past and the future are separate things. This is a thought experiment that exists in separate spaces. The past is 2 things The future is 2 things. You exist in one but think about the other. You are never in both. In the future you think about the past And in the past you think about the future.
