my watch says 12:45pm.
thoughts crowd my mind and burden my heart.
so let words populate this space and let it mean or not mean anything
father time is the greatest thief of them all
in a blink of an eye, you're too old to even realize how old you are
so, take time:
to appreciate the things that matter and live with those that don't
imagine what happiness means and swim in it
never ever think of drowning
imagine what times were painful to even be remembered
learn from getting hurt, and never forget that there were times when you've also caused injury
never forget what your childhood was like
for what you are now is because of that
remember old and new friends, they were and are the comfort you've sought for
in your otherwise boring life
imagine the first book you've read
remember the story it has told you
and how much of it you still love to read
imagine the people you love and loved
surrounding you
imagine the people you hate and hated
and how they've made you stronger
imagine yourself being loved and hated
never forget how that feels
and surely, you'll never hate again
if there is one important thing
that one should never forget:
never cease talking to God
or with any being that floats your religious boat
always converse likewise with yourself in silence
remember the things you did, things you should've done, and the things you will do
see if it has, could have, or will change the world you live in
and make a smile break across the room or beside you
never forget how much love you've given and how much love you should have given
always remember being loved, as a consolation even for your imperfection, even if you don't deserve it
never forget anything
never forget anyone
even the feeling of hatred, pain, sorrow, despair,
but learn how to love, heal, smile, hope
it's not about what has weighed you down all your life,
it's about the things that made you think you could fly.
my watch says 1:00pm. i ought to start working.
