Be Your Future Self Now Novels & Stories

Because they held so much meaning, despite she was completely drunk. "Loosen yourself up. Because life has so much to offer. Tomorrow isn't promise. One can fall ill, or Godforbid, die anytime. So why not live life to the fullest, now that you have the chance to?" She let out a yawn, then carried on. "You can do all these, when you stop giving access to your past, to hunt you. We are in the present, whatever made you this cold and frigid, is in the past. And should be kept in the past." She had taken a slow, careful breath after blurting all of these out. Looking like she wanted to loose conciousness.

I certainly know that there is some sort of conflict looming deep in the shadows but right now, I am just going to live in the moment and forget about anything that is possible of happening in the future. I am going to live in the moment as I already said and let the future decide for itself. After all, this realm is full of surprises and I may end up getting disappointed if I bet so high on the future. Author’s note; Thank you for reading, stay safe.

In fact I know I'm ready for one. The stupid thing to do would be to keep moving in the same direction I've been moving in and then wonder why there isn't an improvement in my life. If I want one, I have to make it happen, and this golden opportunity has been laid in my lap. I must take it, I'm not sure when I'll have another one. "But I've been living in the past for too long," I continue. "The past is keeping me from having a future, and it's making my present worse."

"I know that. I guess it's different, depending on how you were raised." I finished the third beer I'd had since we got here. I needed to slow down. Between what I'd consumed at Sadler's and these, I felt pretty good. It wouldn't take much more before I'd need to call Masyn to babysit-and that wouldn't go well at all. "I can't deny that. I can only tell you that at some point, you have to give up your hope for a better past, embrace your present, and change your future. Just because your roots aren't deep now doesn't mean they can't grow."

I took a couple of deep breaths and repeated my mantra: "You are going to be fine, Aria. Don't let the past define your future." Even with my most optimistic mindset, I realized that Dave's coming home was only an opening gambit in new struggles. I lay there, eyes closed, focusing my mind on things that were within my control: work, relationships, and my future. Another day was coming the next day, and I had to greet it with a clear head and a stout heart.

I'm an idiot, as I didn't remember this a while ago. “Don’t beat yourself up. This happened "centuries" ago. We never thought about it again; honestly, I even doubt it happened.” - "When the past is present, and the present is the same as the past, remember, the future can be in your hands." That's what she said, right? "I think so. I’m not an elephant to have a great memory.”

I smile. “But what I learned from the Goddess is that I had the bad habit of not appreciating my present and the past I overcame. I don’t know the details about what happened to you, but I can see where you are now, how much you love Ashborne, and how much they love you. I can see that you have genuine people who see more potential in you than you do in yourself,” I carry on, echoing the Goddess’s words to me. “And you need to let yourself trust that. Believe me, having a clear-cut future isn’t all it’s made out to be. The trick is enjoying the ride along the way.”

It is the kind of thing a person builds when she has already seen the end credits and refuses the review score. For the first time since waking up in this timeline, the future does not feel like a wall rushing toward her. It feels like a problem. Problems have parts. Parts have order. Order can be attacked with highlighters, spreadsheets, cash, stubbornness, and enough canned chickpeas to make future historians concerned. She writes one final line across the bottom of the page. DO IT EARLY. DO IT QUIETLY. DO IT ALONE UNTIL ALONE STOPS BEING SMART.

continue. "...when you needed me the most. Sadly, all your life. But we can't go back in time. The past is in our heads and the future in our hands, let me help you with the future" "Let me guess, the future is Anita" "You can say that, but you know what they say. Marry a girl that loves you not the one you love"
