Hello,

My name is Adrian Sinnott and I am a 20-year-old UCSB student currently taking a break from my studies to pursue life, or more importantly, life in the moment. I find that as a race, humans tend to spend too much of this commodity contemplating it’s imaginary relatives, future and past. I say imaginary because there really is no such thing as the future or the past, these are simply “concepts” (things we humans are all too comfortable giving personality, or meaning) that allow people to schedule their lives (to the point of living an instruction manual), be on time, and feel as though it can somehow be wasted. Time helps us to be progressive, and sure, it helps to keep that pot roast from charring, but what is it really doing?

Oh and sorry for this massive and immediate digression but this is truly the essence of the blog, thoughts flow and flow transcribes, leading us here. Anyway, back to it.

What a future, and past, really gives us is less now and more planning. More regret and less simplicity, a faster life of lesser meaning. It may seem like you are doing the best for yourself when you are setting up a 401k or planning to work now so that you can enjoy life later but let’s fucking face it, what is there to enjoy later, when LATER doesn’t exist? There is only now now, and there will only be now then, there will never be later. So sack up, and find an activity that will make you happy now, because that is all that matters.

That is the end to this first post, I am keeping it short to spare you guys and to save myself a bit of explaining to do if anyone ever actually reads this.

Please comment or contact me with questions or discussions or counter-viewpoints. True awareness means awareness from all perspectives, and that is what I strive for. Thank you and good reading!
