I saw a meme today,
Asking which of the two options I’d take,
Red: restart from 10 years ago, with the knowledge you’ve acquired till now,
Or Blue: go 5 years in future, with everything settled.
And I went on to think what I would do.
My instant answer was ‘neither’,
And I was shocked by it. ‘coz I’ve been craving to be able to change,
Change the past, change myself, change something.
But I came to realize that,
Right now, I don’t care what my past was, or what my future would be.
For the first time in a long time, I was at peace,
Mentally and emotionally.
And I wouldn’t trade that.
I realized that no matter what was, or what was going to be, I’d choose to stay here,
In this moment.
Where I was happy. And when I thought about it more,
I realized I wouldn’t change my past, B’coz I’m in this moment because of it,
And I can cherish it because of it.
And about the future,
Well we’ll burn that bridge when we get there.
And I know there are gonna come times, When I would feel like everything’s crumbling.
I’ll read this then, and remind myself,
That it’ll pass,
And I’ll find my peace again,
For I’ve found it before, Right here, Inside me,
In just a moment.
