The past has happened and cannot be changed. Too many people get stuck in the past, worrying about what they did or didn't do, what they should have done or not done. So many regrets. Don't be like them!

The future hasn't happened yet - you can make it whatever you want it to be. So many people live in the future, 'As soon as I get that degree/job/girlfriend/ etc, then I will be happy." No, you won't. Don't be like them!

The only reality is now. This is happening, this is the present. It is a present from God.

Enjoy the moment, it will never come back again.

My ideas come to me at the most inconvenient times:

In the middle of a shower while I’m soaping my face

In stop and go traffic that won’t forgive a nanosecond of neglect

During a team game just as the ball is being passed to me

While I’m on top of a ladder, alone, fending off injury

These genius ideas that I later forget

Come and tease me without regret

In the middle of things that I can’t neglect

I look for them later, but find that they left

Leaving behind only a fleeting feeling of what could have been

When I was younger, I’d get too excited over the small things like holidays

I was just a child being childlike, oblivious to everything

I had dreams I didn’t know I couldn’t achieve

I got candy and presents and food and I was happy with just that

Then I grew up, and realized my ignorance

I stopped wearing costumes, stopped eating so much, stopped waking my parents on Christmas Eve

Because showing that happiness was a sign of weakness and immaturity

The cool kids didn’t show their excitement, so neither should I

I still feel excited when the holidays come, although I don’t show it

I want to eat all the thanksgiving food, eat all the Halloween candy, open all the Christmas presents

But I don’t show it because I can’t

I’m not able to because showing emotions is showing weakness

I just want to be a kid again

We have been running,

to and from what-

God only knows.

We can slow down now,

cracked open ribs

bearing what pieces we have left.

Safety feels foreign,

we snarl at any threat.

Protective of what is now ours,

we make promises and plans.

When the dust settles,

and our pulses slow down,

meet me under our stars,

in this new season

of our sleepy beach town.

The belief.

Shower of relief.

Ties and bonds.

Decisions that are bold.

Accompaniment of faith.

Approval of fail.

Building a bridge.

For eternal folds.

Loving a person.

Choosing them.

Venerable by their side.

Additions of strength.

Sorrow, Tears and Mourns.

Happiness, joy and desire.

Sour, Bitter and tasteless.

Running back to sweeter.

Moments we live.

Memories we keep.

Roads we've taken.

Kisses stolen.

Arguments broken.

Lovers we meet.

Friends we keep.

Love we lose.

love we grower.

Talents we use.

Steps we take.

Built from the hearts

Done out of free will.

Been taught

How to stay.

Been taught

How to care.

U wasn't my mate

You wasn't my better half

U weren't perfect.

U had majestic flaws.

I wasn't your first.

I didn't need to fall.

I couldn't be your next best lover

I couldn't rate to your better.

But we found heeling together.

We met our first date.

Made love one simple evening.

Talked once then twice.

You became my favourite decision.

I became you second half.

You danced to the tune of my smile.

We died in each other's arms.

When we collided.

Of all the places in existence, I would like to explore Heaven. I want to see my loved ones again and know that they are happy. I want to be happy myself. I want to meet God and ask him all the questions of the universe and what my purpose was in life and would be in death. Most of all, I would like to know that I lived a good enough life, that I was a good enough person, so maybe what I really want to explore is my own soul.

Don't fight battles with small minded people

It takes valuable energy and time

Stay in deep waters not shallow ones

Lift yourself up

Reach for the sky

Expand

Anything is possible

If you believe and trust

Light up the world

With possibilities

Not limits
