Swimming in between past and present

Well, you must be wondering what the title means exactly? Don't you? Isn't this the only thing that grabbed your attention? 

Without any further delay, I'll explain what I want to say with my title. So, Swimming in between the past and present means that you are wandering to places but it leads you nowhere. 

Past which means your past life; your memories, your good and bad days that have passed by and so on. Whereas present means today; the continuity, the time that is moving slowly at it's pace. 

The important question here is why would one literally dwindle or get themselves entangled between past and present?

The answer is no simple but it's not even complicated. In fact, It's no mysterious problem to be solved.

To be frank, we all are totally messed up in today's life. There is no certainty. We all are trying to find ourselves, find something we exactly are not aware of. Something that is missing in our life, some part of us. 

It's this incomplete side of yours, you want to find out. And when you are in search of finding it out, you ask questions. Questions pop up when you are usually unhappy. 

The particular time your present isn't going the way you had initially thought, you begin wishing to correct your past. When your present is alright but you are scared about your future, you wish that you had never made mistakes in the first place.

But do we deliberately hurt someone else or others? 

Of course not! 

Then why do we keep switching channels all the time?

It's simply because life moves at it's own cycle and not the way we plan.

And yet we try hard to make things work in our favor, only to eventually fail. If life were so simple, if human mind was so simple, if everyone was good, then probably we would die out of boredom.

I am no philosopher but what I have learned from my own experiences is that at times we are bound to swim in between our past and present. However, we must make sure that while we are in that process, there is a lesson to learn, a mistake not to be repeated again.

That when we have to tackle problems again, we know how to deal with it. 

You must know when to pause or rewind and when to hit the play button but more than that make sure you don't stop there. Continue playing the song because life is in the little moments at present not back and forth.
