how much i don't want to be here right now because i have such a love for life. but i don't want to skip ahead. I don't want to skip the chapters I want to read the whole book. The downs are the lessons during the ups, the healing, during the growth, during the glow. i will despise the now, but it's all i have. Regardless of where I am and who I want to be, you can't go back or to the future. I can't have my future that I long for without the now.
