I talked about this on Discord and thought it'd make a good thread. I've always been a lot more future-oriented than past-oriented. A lot of what I think about is who I'll meet in the future, who my future husband will be, what kind of car I'll drive, what will college be like, etc. I also tend to be more on the optimistic side, which may explain why I think like this. But I've always felt happier thinking about my potential future.

The future scares me more than anything. Being an only child, I hate the fact that I could potentially have no family to turn too once my parents and grandparents pass away. Also, everything will fall onto my shoulders to sort through my parents finances, belongings etc. when they do pass, I have no siblings who could help me do that. It has really dawned on me how fast time goes and with every year that passes, the worse I feel. My grandparents are both well into their early 70s now and my Mum turned 56 just over a month ago, meaning that she is closer to 60 than what she is to 50.
With the past, I can look back on things which I have good memories of, as well as think back to a time when things were more innocent, life wasn't as stressful, and pop culture was of a better standard. Rose-tinted glasses aren't a bad thing.

I always thought the present was getting better for me, but that stopped around the third week of April. Now, I feel like I am in a deadlock.

Past. Because I have real things to go off of. The future is basically just my imagination, and if I’m gonna do that, I’m just gonna imagine unrealistic present stuff. Otherwise I set myself up for expectations that are just not attainable and up sad about it.

The past. Its fascinating and I miss the 2000s music, sound and culture. I'm one of the few who dislikes the continuation of advancing the culture. I have no reason to think about other than my past because my life is more "complete" back then in a sense the more I think about it.
The future is stressful as hell because you can't see it.

The past because nobody is guaranteed a future and because I have more years behind me than I have ahead of me.

The past because that’s where all of my good memories are and always will be. I have no future because nothing good ever happens to me. My life is cursed

I used to be very future focused, especially in my high school days. But since my college days I've lost that sense of wonder for the future, and rather focused on the present instead.
And since COVID-19, I hate the present with fervent passion and I dread the future, so the past pretty much became the only tolerable portion of time to look at.

I’m worried about my future so I dabble in nostalgia a bit...

I'd say 50/50. When I'm sad or have anxiety, I think about how better the past was especially before High School, because I've been damaged by alot of fake friends, so I reminisce about the times about how fun Elementary & Middle school was and the friends I hung out with. Thankfully, that helped me reconnect with my old friends again as we help each other.
When Im happy or doing something I like, I am future-focused. I just started getting into Programming and PC Building, so I think about my future careers of being a computer engineer and tech innovations! There's lots to talk about but lets leave it here for now.

I try to think about my future, but I keep having dreams every night of my past during the late 2010s when my life was significantly better than it is now.
