Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

The secret of history.
I look to the past. The tender moments of yesterday. The sun was always brighter, the grass was once greener, and my laugh much more fluent. I look to today. It's unsatisfied. Why? Because it cannot compare to the goodness once had. Here lies the problem... Tomorrow will come. And then the next. I will look to today in the future and my thought will always be "How grand was that day?" Yet, in that day, I sat comparing to the one that came before. In an endless cycle, I will sit and live in yesteryears of unhappiness and fretful futures. But, if that is the truth of now, how sweet really were the days once had? Was I not in the same uncertainty I am now? Was I not terrified of tomorrow's, always looking back, longing for the comfort I thought lied behind me? If I opened my eyes to this, wouldn't that reveal that my present, this here and now, IS the grandest of all? If I ended the comparison to my glory days, which were veiled from their true unhappiness, and opened my mind to the endless possibilities of a bright future and trusted I will forever create memories of tenderness, this would mean that in this second… I would be alive. Aware of the good amongst me despite the conflict and concerns my state may waver in. I'd stand tall and proud, here and now, creating the best of this day that will tomorrow just be a memory. Now doesn't that just sound like a better way to live?!
