Being Present.

Sometimes, thoughts petrify me. Thoughts about my future are particularly scary and that is usually why I take things one day at a time. Thoughts about my past usually leave me feeling happy because I only tend to remember the good bits. Yes, every now and then a bad memory pops up, but I don't hold on to them as much as I do hold on to my good memories. I often remind myself that I can control neither, neither will I ever be able to control either. There is no point in pondering over my future and how things could really go wrong even if I do everything right, just like there is absolutely no point in feeling bad about things that went bad ten years ago, just like there's no point in celebrating my high school graduation. It is important to stay in the moment because if you really do think about it, it gives you immense peace and pleasure to just be where you are, however you are, whatever you're doing. Be present. Feel your heart ticking with every passing second. Feel alive. You deserve it. 

Love, peace.
