What about now?

I struggle to stay in the present. I’m often balancing the times of the past and future with the constant variables: if, should, could, would, etc. If it was a math formula it would end up being a factorial, I think. I’ll admit I was never any good at math, but even I can calculate that that’s a lot of information swimming around in my brain.

So what do I do with it all? Well, I like to think that I do complex formulas and equations to figure out all the possibilities and then make the best possible choices at all times. But, that’s obviously not realistic. Instead, I’m trying to take a small amount of this information and asking myself what about now?
