(10,201 posts)Right now... I have all of my yesterdays. A sight, sound or smell can take me back to any of those yesterdays.
Right now... I have now of course.
Right now... I have tomorrow as well. I have yet to play it out, but she is there enticing me none the less. She may abandon me, she may be taken from me, but right now tomorrow is there.
One day there will be no tomorrow, but that will not be the end of me. I have left my mark, I continue to scribble all over the place. What I am may go away, but who I was will still live on. You should always color the world around you with rich and fantastic colors. Change the world and you will live forever.
You shouldn't try to change the world, it's too big.
You shouldn't try to change the nation, it's too big.
You shouldn't try to change the state, it's too big.
You shouldn't try to change the town, it's too big.
You shouldn't try to change the neighborhood, it's too big.
You should try to change yourself. Be the change you want to make. If your neighbors can see the good, perhaps they will change. If your town sees the change in your neighbors, perhaps they will change... On and on, until by accident you may actually change the world.
