Living in the here and now is not so easy to do. I can say that all day long. One foot in front of the other and the here and the now. Problem being - in the back of my mind is always tomorrow and what I am working for. The here and the now make me think that I will not have a tomorrow. So yeah use Oprah's old saying and breathe... and know that this is the only moment you know you will have for sure.. that about gives me panic. I am not done yet.. ya know??
BUT - and that is always the word. Anything can happen and there may never be another tomorrow for any of us. What IF you wake up tomorrow and reach for that someone and they are not there? What IF you reach for me and I am not here? Infinity - the number 8. Beyond this aspect of our lives - there is so much more. But in this life... we only have the here and now for sure.
A tight hug and warm kiss.. a soft good night... I miss those things the most.. the togetherness... when all you have is books, writing, studying... well - learning who you are and embracing all you can... still leaves you alone at the end of the day... Looking at hours of nothingness.. :( a sad truth, that...
I am who I am and whatever happens, well happens... All I can do is hope for another tomorrow and a chance at the future I am determined to have. Ultimately though - all we can do is make our own choices, guide our own lives.. the rest is really up to the higher powers that be. If tomorrow never comes, then I know in my heart I did everything I could do... loved deeply, forgave completely, and accepted people for what and who they were at every moment.
Can you say the same?
Til the next time,
xoxo
