a mermaid commentating.

life is a shrouded cloud of mystery and change.

Lately things have felt uncertain but over the course of three weeks things have fallen into some form of "place". I was recently asked this question: "what do you think of when you hear the words past, present, and future?" The question was meant to be in reference of my own life; it's funny how this question evaluated my whole life at the moment. When i hear past, i think of experiences with friends, infinite possibility, beloved memories, happiness. In terms of the present: preparing for the future, thinking ahead. As for the future: uncertain, inevitable, somewhat intimidating. What this question brings to light is the fact that not only myself but most individuals hardly ever cherish the present because they're either living for the future or trying to recreate the past. What of the present, is it of any significance? the answer is: YES. It's somewhat tragic that the present is never of any relevance until it becomes the past. Our civilization mediates strategic preparedness for this "future", but never to enjoy the current...to appreciate the day in front of you. Forgive me if i sound redundant, but I'm trying something new in my life: I'm enjoying the now for a change. As cliche as it sounds we never know if we'll live to see another day and the future is not always guaranteed; that being said enjoy the present, enjoy the now.
