It might be a way to kind of mentally escape the present, never the less I am almost constantly thinking about the future. I'd like to say I do this to improve my present self, but that's not always the case; it's more like day dreaming. Sometimes it really bothers me that I can't seem to focus (or don't want to) on the right-here-and-now, but other times it's a pretty good method of just making me happy. If I'm down about not being able to find a job (it's a lot harder than I thought it would be- I went almost two whole months) then I just start putting together thoughts on this
amazing event decoration company that I one day want to own- or if I'm yet again annoyed by my stomping upstairs apartment neighbor, I'll go on craigslist and look at listings even though I know damn well that my lease doesn't end until May (counting down the days).
I do get ahead of myself though; for instance, by making 3 year goals for myself (things to do by the time I'm 26).... the goals are not even necessarily reachable lol, but I guess you could say that I look at the BIG PICTURE :D
Happy 11-11-11!
