Fireflies

So often we determine our present from our past. It is true the past is what gives us shape and helps us become ourselves of today. But do we relive, worry, or constantly suffer the mistakes of our past? Do you call up a wronged person and confess thirty years later because you feel bad? Does one lie soil you forever? Does a heartbreak ever mend? We suffer for money, things, lifestyle so to speak. When do you stop and realize you suffer for nothing? Will you see the firefly in your life? That glowing spark that is in the corner of your eye that only you can see? The one that tells you all the answers to all your questions. Stop, Just stop. Sit and focus. Not on your technology, not on the sounds of all the modernness surrounding you, but on that firefly. Catch it in your minds eye. Ask it if the past mistakes are the only thing you should base your self worth on? No. There is more to you than mistakes. Oh there is so much more. In each moment you create memories good, bad, and boring. But its really those little boring ones that define you. The ones that neither cause stress or relief. They just are. The amazing thing about those is that they are so abundant and so overlooked. They are what you need to face the good and the bad. They help heal and guide you. So when you fall back to the worry. The bad is not All they will remember. The good is not all there will be... Because there will be so many of the boring. They are sands that fill the hourglass of your life. Each so individual and beautiful yet all so plain. :) Smile. Love. Enjoy the here and now. Oh... enjoy the fireflies! They make life interesting.
