Does the Past Serve The Future

You wake up one day not having a clue what your dream was about, but you have that feeling that whatever it was, it was deep! Your body resonates at such a frequency that you senses are near superhuman. You can taste the morning air, it's dense and reminds you of your childhood. Suddenly it hits you ... Most likely your mind had been reliving events of the past. What is this feeling you say to yourself ... I should be having dreams of conquests, dreams of designs of epic proportions that would literally change perception as we know it. Still my subconscious insists on thinking about the past. So as any thinker does I dwell and I ponder... How did I get here, how did I go to bed a boy and awaken a man with certain regrets, some big & some small, but amazing possibilities ahead. Hold on a second a second, I was just a boy, the last in his family...we all know what that means, I could do no wrong. I was just a boy in secondary / high school, smart but never really applied myself and still excelled, loved comics, games, movies and girls, not necessarily in that order. I was a boy that enjoyed life, had great friends and next to no responsibility. So when does a boy become a man. At am early age I realized amongst other things, life is not easy, death, responsibility are part of growth... Ok stop, for those who know me personally ... I am not sick or paying my last homage to the internet, this is just a semi articulate ramble of a thinker that is attempting to put down his thoughts. Would majority of people actually read this rambling... Probably not. My generation and ones after are being taught not to be a thinker... See I almost lost my train of thought there. You were a child now a man, thanks to awesome parents, responsibility is no issue, you are ready for that, whatever comes your way, you shall face head on, God by your side, family at your back, the perfect dose of compassion, strength, love, craz, ambition perseverance and more all mixed in. So why dwell on the past then.... Why! Well cos it's simple, your past shapes your future and if you forget, you will be lost. But no matter how much you lose your way you xan always find it. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, HERE IS A POTATO..... If you know that statement then are online way too much
