I also catch myself way too often looking forward to being home before I’ve even left the house, so your post is such a good reminder to keep a cautious eye out for those moments!
It also reminded me one of my favourite quotes from a movie I never saw: “Don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future? ... You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor, insignificant preamble to something else.”
Thanks, Isaac! Haha I totally feel that constant struggle too, so it’s good to have a comrade in the fight against the vacuuming vortex of the future 🌪️

Damn, that is a good line, Lamar.
Thank you for sharing. It feels like a line from Fight Club or Matrix.
And yeah - I actually caught myself this morning on my drive into work thinking about being able to be home this evening haha.
I then had to remind myself to live in the moment and take it one moment at a time.
It’s a constant struggle. Thanks for sharing your experience with it as well.
We’re not all as different as we think.

Looking forward to reading more of your writing!
Yep! You're not alone, Lamar!
I have a post ready to go out on Friday. I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.
I hope you have an incredible day!
