April #17

I talk about real life too much sometimes.
What's going to happen - after.
How I can't wait to leave
where I am,
in search for something more real,
more tangible,
more realistic.

I came across a quote today,
trite as it was,
and it sort of, 
well, 
revolutionized my thoughts a little.

Life is now. 
My life is
every moment.
It's not about after college,
or after work,
or when this project is done.
My time will not be saved
for after I finish whatever is ahead of me.

I have to cherish, and live,
and love the now.

So I vow to do it, 
silly and pointless
and sudden and revolutionary
as it may seem.

It's time for now.
It's time for real life.
My worries will waste each day.
Let my loves live them instead.
