Sometimes I do remember: "Ah... how good it was back then," but nothing more.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
I think that's exactly what it means to "live in the past," especially when it happens too often. But when special, life-changing moments stay in your mind for a long time, can that really be called "living in the past"?
I meant that there are many chains of events in our lives, and I can't really single out one that is truly significant, probably because I haven't lived long enough yet.
And I rarely think about the past, except when I come across an old photograph or meet an old friend.

If my friend's father didn't have numerous connections, he wouldn't have been able to get him a summer job. If my friend hadn't gotten that job, he wouldn't have invited me to join him. If one person hadn't created a team to work on a specific area (landscaping, cleaning, digging, moving trash, and hauling various items), a small but cohesive team wouldn't have been formed. If this team hadn't been created, my volunteer squad would never have been organized. If I hadn't been a member of the volunteer squad, I would never have attended the rally (I recently wrote about it in the Haven).
This chain of events occurred spontaneously when I was sitting in a large hall filled with people, quite far from the city, and suddenly asked myself, "How did I get here?". :)
Where do we end up when we save the world?
Events happen in our lives: ups and downs. It is they that make us who we are.
Where do we end up when we save the world?
For example, I don't remember much from the past because I don't dwell on it; I live in the present.
And I rarely think about the past, except when I come across an old photo or meet an old friend.

I'm carefully and impartially bumping the topic.

2007. I decided to visit HeroesWorld to download maps for playing with the same cousin who told me about the forum. A day or so later, I registered (still on VK, but I don’t remember because of whom). I met various people, including Amko, who eventually ended up in my VK friends list.
2013. I went to Amko’s page, saw a public page he had, and decided to check it out. Among many different people, I saw a girl there. I went to her page and simply couldn’t resist writing to her. We started talking. That’s how I found a close friend whom I’m still friends with to this day.
2017. I thought that it wasn’t for nothing that I became a hardcore fan back in the distant 2000s.
