its your choice

its funny how what is so worried about today is so easliy forgotten tomorrow.

we only see what we want, and miss the opportunities to get what we need.

we think we know what will make us happy,

and what will get us through the day.

we miss the chances to make a difference,

when our focus is on ourselves.

we lose track of the aspirations,

when we worry about the "what ifs"

i dont want to look back at a life of what ifs

a life of should haves

i want to do today what i was too afraid to do yesterday
