New York Nostalgia

Got this shot via iphone outside The Nomad Hotel the other night walking home from dance.

I have been thinking a lot about my past lately, maybe as I move onto the future. Thinking about mistakes I have made, how things could have been different for me, how life could have changed for me, if I did something else.

It’s very hard when you look to the present and think some things were not what you wanted, but then I think, “Well, if this had not happened, then I wouldn’t have had my dog.” It’s so easy to entrust your present predicament to fate, but I guess, what else can you do? There is no going back, only moving forward.

I do reflect on my past and I often wonder how my alternate reality self would have become. I am happy now, but sometimes I am not proud of myself then. And sometimes, I am disappointed at my past self, and wonder why I had made those choices.
