Unknown Struggle with the Mind

I've a bad habit. Maybe it's not a habit, but a periodical struggle to recall the events, things or people I have come across. This is weird and clouding my mind for a long time before I come to realise that I have actually been wasting time to remember back the past.

For example, I was having my dinner at a restaurant and I saw newspaper spread across the tables. And I spotted The Star. So I picked it up and proceeded reading. But quickly I lost focus and my mind wondered empty. I made a mental note to read it much later but I managed never to read it. On my way back to my house, I felt a "lost" feeling. I felt that I'd miss out an important thing and my mind kept wondering back to the shop and imagined myself reading the paper and finished it.

This is just weird. I am very bothered with it till today. My solution I hope to get rid of it once and for all is that I have to treasure every moment in life so that I experience it with heart and without regret. Really, does it work that way? What if I am yet again tangled with the thought again?

This Monday is my English presentation. I am to present about my novel I have read for about a month's time. The prospect of presentation is very disturbing as speaking in front of people is generally challenging. I have just to be brave and confident.

This is my first time blogging this year. This blog is my piece I write without prior plan and thinking. So, it will look untidy and clumsy in thought. But as the Chinese proverb goes, "The hardest part of everything is the beginning."
