What will become of me? or better yet, what could have become of me? At times, I stare out at the world from screened and barred windows contemplating alternate futures for myself. The “what-if’s” and “could have been’s” taunt me, causing me to flirt with the idea of things being different. ___ I seem to forget what actually is, unappreciative of what actually has become of me, of what I have already become, overlooking the things I’ve done right. ___ It’s time I changed focus. Transfix upon the ever-changing present, not concentrating on what never was, and no longer entertaining worries of what will be, or what will not.

Alternate Futures

Transfix upon the ever-changing present, not concentrating on what never was, and no longer entertaining worries of what will be, or what will not.
