Dear FutureMe,
Had you forgotten? Breath into your heart. Breath to be present with however things are right now. Breath because that is the one thing you always have to do now. Breath in the feelings of happiness or sadness or both mixed together. Breath in all the losses and grief. Breath out into the limitless possibilities. You can choose to change your life in small ways every day. Maybe there will come a day when the big change happens naturally. Maybe you will be dead before you read this. If not, there is life left in you and many things to learn about and be wondered by. There are many people around you look at them with open eyes. Love happens in the cracks between the armor. Grass grows in the cracks in the pavement. Saplings split the street. Streetlights hang dead, covered with ivy. Poverty is wealth. Hunger is the best sauce. Breath to grow, breath until you die.
