Cabo - a couple thoughts:
I try not to live in the past or in the future but stay in the present - easier said than done.
When I feel vulnerable, which can often happen when I feel I don't fit in then my ego can be bruised and I find my addictions call out. I realize its a coping mechanism but none the less they still call out - I just have tools now.
Why do people talk aboutthe weather? Because its a common denominator. If you see someone from the past its like talking about the weather to discuss the old days. I doubt they mean anythign by it. If your like me you might be over analyzing in your head.
