Ive a big question it would be great if you could make a video around it
Why do we always despite trying so hard, go back to the old ways too quick? Old habits, old people we wish to leave and old self we want to abandon completely. Why is it so easy to go to the hurtful past, rather than cherishing the present? Why is it so difficult to be in the present despite trying it so hard.
