The past is nostalgic because it’s trapped in amber.

You know what to expect.

There are no surprises in the past.

No danger that can’t easily be avoided.

Safety.

But we don’t live in this past.

We live in the present.

And danger is all around us.

Embrace it.

Embrace the uncertainty.

Embrace the negative possibilities as well as the positive ones.

Embrace it all.

We are alive now.

One day we will be trapped in the past unable to move.

But right now we are players on the board.
