Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.

I was the future once.

I used to dream of being other places, other people. It was an escape for me.

My friends in college, several of whom are still my closest companions, would tell you that I was almost obsessed with becoming - fixated on creating - the future that I envisioned for myself: one of expanding to know my fullest self, which I have in no way achieved.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
