No one really wants to live in yesterday. Too many bad memories, tears unshed just waiting for you to return to them, to let them be unleashed. And even the happy times of the past seem so far away, lost in a world you really can’t get back to. Yeah, no one wants to live in yesterday.

And yet, it’s just as hard to live in tomorrow. Always wondering, not what is, but what is to be. If you’ll live up to everyone’s expectations. Will I get into the best college? Will I pass the geometry test? Will I be the person I’ve always wanted to be? Tomorrow is never really here—maybe that’s why it tends to be so attractive. We can say, “Tomorrow, that’s when I’ll look in the mirror and say I’m beautiful.’ Tomorrow.â€?

Unreachable. Yesterday is too long ago, while tomorrow is so far away…

But still, despite everything that we may know, most of us are either “yesterday’s children,â€? or, “children of tomorrow.â€? But not me. I’m making it my goal to spend the rest of my life here, in the right now.
