Future & Present

Every second you're getting older, marching towards an ultimatum. Whether you like it or not, whether you choose to do everything or nothing, time will always, always move on. I'm even older now than the person who wrote the word 'Every' at the beginning of this paragraph. Talking to people, experiences, spending time in my own mind, have lead me to a conclusion we all know but often ignore. It's all about living in the now, giving very little thought to what has been unless you're being asked to recall something. Plan by all means, but work in harmony with your 'Now' self, and the world as it is now, in order to find the love, happiness and balance you are looking for.

Here is a short note to my younger self:

1. Really, truly do not give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks. They are not your maker.
2. Hard work always gets results.
3. Be confident and value yourself.
4. Do it! Real regrets only come from not doing something.
5. Stop eating so much fucking mayonnaise.
6. It won't always be easy. Suck it up, embrace the feeling and then let it go.

Write a note to your younger selves, live the purpose of that note now, and take all the words with you to the future.
