The Closer

That sense of pride, that sense of finishing something great is so appealing to me. In the end, I can look back at it and say, 'I'm glad I did that.'

Some music lovers, like me, always tend to think about the end of a song we like. Could of it been ended a different way to change the whole view on the song? Could it have a slight change to maybe put more emphasis on the song as a whole?

These types of things we think about all the time, even subconsciously. Even in sports. Usually, at the end of songs that Emman and I would sometimes decide to play that we were making, we go impromptu, because we don't know how to end it. Without thinking about it, the next time we play it, we end it a different way, and then it trails to the middle of the song and so on.

In baseball, there is a closing pitcher to wrap things up usually. He is the decider for the end of the game on how it should be played out. At the end, especially during a loss, we look back and wonder "Could of he done a different pitch to not cause that almost-made run?". It's the same in all sports or any day-to-day things.

Regret is one thing that can cause us to look back immediately. Random thoughts cause us to look back at something in the past and just think about it and wonder about anything we could of done differently in the end. And it bugs us, and we replay it changing the situation, even if it's not regret. If we give it time, our focus will tune back to our present thinking.
