Walk on Water

It’s kinda depressing. Think about all the moments we have waited for: Christmas, NBA Finals, PS4, PS5, etc..
They say you only live once. You’ll never get another chance so enjoy the time you have.
But isn’t that kind of depressing in of itself? How can you enjoy it when you know it will pass? It’s almost like everything is already over and we’re just watching it unfold like a movie.
Does anyone feel what I’m saying? They say you gotta do this or that so you won’t regret it later on. But the paradox here is that you can only appreciate things in hindsight. You know what I mean?
So when we say to enjoy it now.. we only truly understand in past context. And that’s a problem. Sure I could tell my younger self something. But if were to go back in time, I would not have the insight I have now. So that’s easy to say, only afterwards.
I guess I’m rambling and going in circles. But I’m looking for answers. If we are all honest we all have regrets or things we remember that we felt should have been different or better. But it happened the way it happened.
I feel like we’ve waited for so many things to happen in life and they get here and they pass. And now we either reminisce or look forward to the next cycle of things to come, hoping that if only this or that happened, that we would be happy.
I don’t know what to do. Because no matter how hard we work at something or even try to help someone, there comes a point where people forget. It’s almost like the things we did didn’t really matter.
