The thoughts going on in my head. I'm 82. My life has been good. People like me. [View all]

From time to time, thoughts go through my head about episodes in which I took part or was central. The thing is, these episodes were ones in which I was a perfect asshole. Times where I now wish I had behaved differently. Regarding most of these interactions, I am sure the participants have no recollection of them having happened. But I do.

My thoughts don't go back to things where I behaved in ways in which I should be proud. There must have been some.

Like I said, my life has been good and I expect to have at least 20 more good years ahead of me.

Still, why only these thoughts?

What goes through your head? Good memories? Sad memories? embarrassing memories? Or do you only live in the present?
