The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.

I sometimes hear about work described in terms of "originality" or "breakthrough," but my personal experience is quite different. For me music has always been about lineage. The past is reinvented and becomes the future. But the lineage is everything.

The past will often try to attack the present with the pain of your memories.

It's a pity Google Maps (as opposed to Google Street View, which rolls back to 2009) doesn't have a way of seeing earlier versions #GoogleMaps #ThePast

Can you imagine if the TV show Moonlighting were on today? It would be unbearable. You would hear about it until you wanted to wanted to jab your eyes out. Tension on the set. Will they? Won't they? Should they? Shouldn't they? Did they? After the B&W episode there'd be 18 million articles on how the show takes itself too seriously.
It would be like if Ted Lasso starred the Kardashians.
"What's past is prologue"
This phrase comes from #Shakespeare's play The Tempest and is used to suggest that the events of #thepast will influence #thefuture. It implies that the past will act as a #prologue to what lies ahead and that the same patterns, attitudes, and outcomes will continue to be seen in #thefuture. The phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of learning from the past in order to prepare for the future.
Pain caused you to make choices.
You may look back at those choices and regret them because it's not the choice that you would make now.
Can you see what that alone is showing you?
It's showing you growth, healing, understanding, and the opportunity for acceptance.
You can recognize the pain of that younger version of you. You can see that they made choices based on that pain. You can recognize that you no longer need to make those choices the same way because you're not in that pain anymore.
That's what we call healing and learning.
Don't beat yourself up for not knowing what you didn't know when you didn't know it.
You know how you make up for crappy past choices?
By making better choices from where you are now.
You can let the past go, by simply accepting that you can do better in the future.
You can't change the past. It's done.
You can only change what you do from here and when you know better, you do better.
That's good enough.
Love to all.

Someone just sent me this picture of me as a teenager, with my cousin. Yes, those are JNCOs. Yes, that's a bowl cut. I guess at some point I actually cared about fashion trends. Now, I wear the same thing everyday, give or take.
When this was taken, I was living in a trailer park, with a father on pizza man/drug dealer wages. No one bought the JNCOs. That's just how things were then.
Man, how life can change with 30 years of trying.
I hadn't thought about the House of Crosses in Chicago's West Town neighborhood for a long time but for some reason it popped into my head the other day and I went looking for some of the photos that I had taken of it. This was shortly after the owner's death and either family or workers were removing the crosses to ready the house for sale. #photography #chicago #history #thepast #quirky #memories
