Time goes by. Life changes.
Two things we have no control over.
We will cry. We will laugh.
We will win. We will lose.
But the day will continue on.
We have no power over when or where
our journey begins and ends.
We only control what happens in between.
Many live in the past.
Looking back wishing to change,
the mistakes that have already been done.
Trying to erase the pain caused.
Others live in the moment,
ignoring the past and the future.
Some call them risk takers.
others call them crazy.
Many live for the future,
believing that better days lie ahead.
They plan everything in advance,
living according to a plan.
But life isn't black and white.
We are forced to live in the past,
the present, and the future.
But, we must not dwell in the past.
as it only can bring heartbreak.
We must not live only for the minute,
because we might fall flat on our face tomorrow.
We must not live only for the future,
for then we miss out on the joys of today.
We must walk our journey on our own.
Remembering the lessons learned,
Savoring each wonderful moment,
Looking forward to the unclear future.

Its true what you said, lots of people do live in the past, never forgiving of forgetting things they believe wronged them. Sometimes when someone forgets who they are or what they believe, it hurts everyone around them. This is a great write, sorry that it took me so long to reply, don't get on that much. I don't get to talk to you that much anymore, so I thought this would be a good place to say it. I want you to know that I am sorry. I have been living in the past for a few years now. I felt like I didn't fit in, but that was because I didn't want to. I think I was starting to bring you down with me, and you noticed it. In someway I didn't want to see it was all me, because in my own eyes I had it all worked out. I blamed you for all the pain and all the problems. I guess that made me feel better about my self. That doesn't last tho, it falls apart over and over. I just wanted to say I am sorry for being such a jerk. I would say it in person, but you know me, I would say something wrong and it would come out all messed up and then I would look like a jerk once again. Sorry for the long comment, and if I misspelled anything, that just me. Keep written plz, I always read.
