I'll try until I can't

You can run far, you can take your small precautions. But have you really gotten away? Or is it the truth that you did not have the strength or cunning to hide from destiny? That the world is not small. you are. And, fate can find you anywhere.


 
We spend our whole lives trying to predict the future. As if figuring it out will somehow cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears, and our wildest hopes. But one thing is certain: When it finally reveals itself, the future is never the way we imagined it.

We spend all of that time focused on the future. Planning it. Working toward it. But at some point, you start to realize, your life is happening now. This is it. Say what you need to say. Make a plan. Set a goal. Work towards it. But every now and then, look around. Drink it in. 'Cause this is it.
