Stumbled upon a picture from May with myself, little brother, cousin, and grandmother and thought to myself "at some point in the not so distant future, I will look back at this picture and go "wow, those were the days"
This makes me really sad. Am I the only crazy person who has these thought, or do other people feel the same as well? Pic unrelated

both of the following statements have the same truth value
you are the only person who thinks about this
this is the correct board for this
>>7739349
I don't tend to think about the future in present tense much, when it comes to my own connections with some sort of context or group.
I'm kind of dead inside tbqh my symbolic but not literal blood relatives.
>>7739349
I have similar thoughts.
Makes me appreciate my current situation more.

welcome to dukkha
the point is to become a phenomenologist: study what occurs through you, with as much equanimity/ataraxia/equipoise/upekka as possible and always benevolence

Happens to me all the time. My problem is I mostly keep waiting for results...
I should learn to enjoy the trip, instead of just waiting to get to the destination, if you know what I mean. If you know how to do this, let me know.

I envy you. I have no happy memories. Only a collection of sadness, fear, disgust and anger.

Develop the meditation called mindfulness of in-and-out breathing because it is of great fruit, of great advantage. And how is mindfulness of in-and-out breathing developed, how is it made much of, how is it of great fruit, great advantage? Concerning this, one who has gone to the forest, to the root of a tree or to an empty place, sits down cross-legged with the back straight, establishing mindfulness in front of him. Mindfully one breathes in, mindfully one breathes out. Breathing in a long breath one knows: ‘I am breathing in a long breath;’ breathing out a long breath one knows: ‘I am breathing out a long breath.’ Breathing in a short breath one knows: ‘I am breathing in a short breath;’ breathing out a short breath one knows: ‘I am breathing out a short breath.’ One trains oneself, thinking: ‘Breathing in I shall experience the whole body.’ One trains oneself, thinking: ‘Breathing out I shall experience the whole body.’ One trains oneself, thinking: ‘Breathing in I will tranquillize bodily activities.’ One trains oneself, thinking: ‘Breathing out I will tranquillize bodily activities.’
