If you enjoyed what you did in the past then why look for the negatives? Hold on to those good feelings, leave it at that and put the past to rest.
Dwelling on things you think you did wrong is only going to hinder you further. I know it by experience.
Also in my experience, "living in the moment" is for people who can afford the bill. If you can, then enjoy. If you can't...
That's what I think, based on what you wrote.

maybe this is that "living in the moment" thing everyone talks about. the "present". doing whatever you enjoy in the present moment and not caring about what you will think in the future. something like that
so whats changed? now i think everything i do is pointless and a waste of time. maybe its not. maybe i should just accept whatever and do whatever i want/enjoy and not care that in a few years time i will wish i hadnt? and maybe i should stop complaining about what i used to do in the past?
what do you think of this?
