little moments in a time called now.

It is a part of true happiness to not live in the past or live only for the future. But it is also important to not get so wrapped up in the present that the past and future become diminished and insignificant; because then the present will become so overwhelming that whatever is felt in this moment will become too much. Whether it is joy or grief, this moment in time will take its toll over me. Time knows its place in the universe, and I know mine. I cannot allow it to be bigger than me. I won't allow it. I will rise above it. Time is life, and life is mine to live.
