Living in the Present

we cant live a live looking back into the past because we cant change it because it already happened.

we cant live in the future because the future because the future is always unpredictable.

thats why we live in the present. thats why wat we do now counts!

Every Step Counts

Slowly walking home today, I thought the world was slow and hard. I look at school and I see only test and grades. I see my future which only has college applications. What's the point? Where did this road lead to? Why is there so many negatives? Why can't we just live a easy life?

I kept walking down the road. Before I know it I'm already half-way. I saw people passing by, the sounds of cars rushing on the roads, everyone was busy to go somewhere. Everybody had this set destination. People wanted to go home. Others wanted to go grad a snack at 7-11. Children left the school yards to go to tutor. There seems there is destination in life. It was not just walking roads for no reason. We walk because we want to get somewhere.

When I got to my doorstep, I felt good because I'm finally home. I'm finally at home sweet home. Every small step I took got me back home. I wasn't able to fly home without any effort, or I wasn't able to suddenly appear home. I had to take small steps to get to this destination. If I were to stop and complain about how the temperature was so hot, or why is walking so tiring, I would have gotten no where. I would of stood there in complaint about everything. I chose to take small steps, because every step counted. I wasn't walking backwards, nor stopping, I continued to move on to my destination. I kept walking. Even thought the steps might have been small and slow but I still made progress. Life is like that. If we stop and just complain about our surroundings we aren't changing anything. One step at a time, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, we slowly make it to our goal. We finally make it because each step counted. Each step slowly led up to the destination.

Life might be harsh in different ways but every step counts. Only these steps we take can lead to where we are going.

The Journey (Mary Oliver)

The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save.
