To me.. The past has been written, crossed out, smuged, misspelt, , bold, italic, underlined. The future lays bare, smooth, spacious, a blank white page of an open book. Although it's funny how we can look backwards and try to understand what we have written, yet we must live forwards. You normally ask a question and wait for the answer, but to me it seems, the past can be answered and the future is the question. The present however, makes more sense to me. It's just simply 'being'. Which to me, sounds like the most simplest of things, especially since thats what we do day in and day out, some of us not even realising. In the present I can be certain of myself, how I feel, what I think, what I want, who I am. Right now i'm in love, that scares me. Right now the whole world is at my feet, that terrifies me. Right now I know who my friends are, that makes me smile. Right now I can do what ever I want, that excites me. Yet that's all I can be certain of, right now.
