As for the future, I've started worrying about it of late. I guess adulting brings that feeling naturally.

I thought this part of the book was the best part. Some guy said chico was a weak character but it's his softness that allows for this kind of like to be said.bwill93 wrote: ↑10 May 2018, 19:09 I have only read the review of this book, but it seems like an incredible story. In terms of living in the past or future, I think it's natural for people to flip back and forth from past nostalgia to future anxiety or excitement. What I try to do is just live in the present moment. The past is gone, it's never coming back. Learn from it and move on as best as you can. After all, what is life but just one continuous present moment? To me, it seems that if you're not living in the Now then you're not living.

Gary on the other hand, who seem to be partying and living in the moment, wasn't really living with purpose. He had no calling. He was lost and wandering and did the only thing he knew to do to numb his mind enough to not think about his life having no meaning.

- Latest Review: Illustrated Short Fiction of William H. Coles: 2000-2016 by William H. Coles
Agree! For me, it's usually 90% nostalgia, which is always my childhood from 90s or early 2000s. I do have moments of ''could-haves and should-haves' but then it's over as fast as it came, because I'm like, "Well, I didn't." But future anxieties. . . ahhh life.bwill93 wrote: ↑10 May 2018, 19:09 I have only read the review of this book, but it seems like an incredible story.

But we can only live in the moment that we're in.
