I have a habit of often thinking about things that have happened in the past, and wondering how wildly different they could have gone if I had done something strange. Like, what if, instead of letting Sarah Palm drop the sculpture she had worked so hard to make in art class (thus breaking it), I made a mad dive and caught it? Who knows? Maybe she'd have totally fallen for me, dudes. Or what if instead I just whipped out my dick right in the middle of class and started jerking off? Boy, that sure would have changed how the rest of high school went pretty quickly. Or just things of a less extreme degree - what if I had said yes to more things, said no to more things, gone different places, talked to different people, etc?
It's probably not very beneficial to think about the past, since it certainly can't be changed, but it's at least entertaining.

you seem to do it more for silly reasons, i (and it seems like thyme) do it as a means of comforting myself (ourselves) by wondering what would have happened had i not made certain mistakes :(
it's a terrible habit and the train of thought takes up at least 80% of the time i spend thinking :'(

it has its major disadvantages - it's part of the reason i'm the sort of person who never learned how to cook or take care of himself well, who never bothered to try getting a real job (ever), and who never thought enough about his future
I do the same thing kaz probably just as much as you do
most cases end in me being a super hero sillydood;
but yea in all seriousness I probably think about it way too much and have like months of time thought out after certain events
is sarah hot pix pls
What if I didn't waste so much goddamn time on Nsider? nigger
The other day, when I was making out with this girl at her house, I was cockblocked my her grandma. I asked her if she had any good hiding places, but she insisted that she was too scared. Stupid me forgot to suggest that we could have gone in my car, or at the very least gotten a bj.
Live and learn.

Entertaining? It's terrible to me. I hate that feeling of wishing I did something different, and constantly thinking about what could be different now if I did...

For me, it's not wishing so much as simply entertaining the thought.
all the time
I don't like to think about the past, and I'm not trying to worry about the future.
That doesn't really make any sense though.
The past isn't malleable or anything so as soon as you get into those "what if I dids?", you're essentially projecting that into some perverse future-tense.
There's no such thing as "if only I had done that....." because you didn't do it. So, it's nothing you need to get worked up over in any way shape or form.

Not sure
deep is the right word for it.
i live in the past and die in the future. the present is neither here nor there. moments stretch into more moments and memories fills in the gaps, where nights become consumed again within the past. what was and what became and what might have been never quite escape my mind, and remain upon my heart. tapes that stop and rewind at the very start. the things i care most about are the lost opportunities at a more kinder, learned and gentle humanity, where i could have done much more, and instead felt and thought but never acted out what i wished and then died for. it's not fun to live inside one's head. a blur, a mess, a mystery half gloom and half glad. peaks of greatness turn lows of sadness. the past is never gone, our history has breath, and we embody the rest, into a collection, a form, a frame of both the worst and the very best. it is foolish, for me, to only look ahead.

I agree with this sentiment.
However I recently found my old childhood love and contacted her, she has a black boyfriend now, I like to think I started the trend, her interest in black men.
Past should stay as it is however, cant change anything anyway.
I go by a quote by one of my inspirations.
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

I am the opposite. I dream all day about things I would do, yet never really do. Every once in awhile I will come to realization that I haven't done anything I dreamed of.
I spend most of my time daydreaming about ways the future could play out, only consider the past infrequently when I feel like I've made a bad mistake or am trying to find reasons to hate myself and prove myself wrong, which of course is pointless

Bravo. That is beautiful. I dream of the future in all intent, only to reason why it won't come true.
so i know the answer to that question was never baddood;

That is what I strive to do.
But in doing that I often find myself getting consumed in ideas for the very distant future, which is often futile.
I think, personally, the best time-span to ponder is within the 1 month future period.
why would anyone want to follow that sort of program, as if they were a machine? thoughts have no regard for time, ideas for space, and events neither gain or lose meaning because of it.

I just meant it as a very general guideline, so to not get too caught up in the distant future
