Remembering the life we’ve had,
The life that can’t be undone,
The people who are no longer here in person,
The opportunities missed,
We can’t change what’s happened to us,
What we’ve been through,
What we’ve battled and fought.
But right now,
We have the control to do something different,
To change how our story goes from now.
Maybe we haven’t accepted support in the past.
Maybe we have made choices we aren’t proud of.
If we could change something, what would it be?
Our friendships?
A destructive relationship?
A first encounter?
Or was the last one that we didn’t know was coming?
Would we change our attitudes?
Our perspectives?
Our judgements?
We can’t choose what happens in 10 years.
It hasnt happened yet.
We’ve no control of the future,
Of inevitable things.
We lack the capacity to change these things.
So why spend our time wishing?
Expecting change while not thinking or doing anything differently?
The choices we make right now determine the choices we have to make in the next moment.
What is for us won’t pass us.
What is meant to be will be.
