Most of us are time travelers
Not just moving in a linear way from moment to moment
But anticipating and planning
Imagining alternate futures that are optimistically biased
Forgetting other imagined futures that fell short of reality
Since memory isn’t a very accurate recording device
Its core function not to scrapbook our pasts
But to foretell our futures, flexibly constructing scenarios
Likewise we reconstruct our spotty pasts from grime to gleam
Hope and happiness keep optimistic minds at ease
While the pessimistic fearful suffer side effects of low expectations
We all live with illusions and delusions
Make mine optimistic
I’ll wallow in happiness
Travelling to a brighter future
