“The older you get the more you live in the past”

“The older I get, the brighter colours I live. But in the past, they were dark, dingy, sad colours.”

“Maybe the more emotions a person experiences in their daily lives, the longer time seems to feel to them. As you get older, you experience fewer new things, and so time seems to go by faster.”

“Birthdays could be such a bummer when you were older than the country you lived in.”

“Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems - but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems more and more incredible.”

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

“The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be; otherwise, you will be forced to relive the past again and again.”

“If you want a future, darling,
Why don't you get a past?”

“If you are living in the past or in the future, you will never find a meaning in the present.”

“The past was always there, lived inside of you, and it helped to make you who you were. But it had to be placed in perspective. The past could not dominate the future.”
