It's all a story
Don't hate your past, if you want your future to be kind to you.
And why would one?
It's all a story. The only thing to care about is to immerse yourself in the moment - it's all we have, really.
If I died, that will be a story. If I cried, that will be a story too. If I won, that'll be a story; if I lose that'll be another.
Ultimately, our only choice is to live a life, not live a story. The story gets written anyway - one in your head, one in mine.
The present is the Truth of unfolding Reality. Everything else - everything else - is a story.
