Sorry, I meant in my opinion.
Presentism works for me, makes me happier. If Eternalism works for you that's great, we are all different so no one size fits all. When I was studying Physics I inherently used to think like that but I realised my anxieties were all attached to regret and despair about past and future respectively. When I began to think like a Presentist, most of my worries just disappeared.

The past and future do not exist. It is foolish to live anywhere but the moment you are present in, you can only be happy now. Most of these shared stories are based on "what if I ... ?" and there is no answer because your imagination creates your destiny
There is freedom
waiting for you
on the breezes
of the sky
and you ask
"what if I fall?"
oh but my darling
what if you fly
The problems are deeper, I do find Adam Curtis has a talent for scratching at it:

Don't play along pretending it is real. Whatever you want can be satisfied, for your reality is in your mind, the physical world is your fantasy. It is the most amazing mechanism, go get what you want.
