Fixing Today

Don’t think about how much you have lost.
Think about how much you have to gain.

The friendship you lost, you miss that. The love that betrayed you, somewhere you’ve forgiven them. The people you lost, you wish they had stayed. You know none of them is ever going to come back, but if you could, you’d turn back time.

You keep on wondering about those scattered, shattered, and lost things. Tomorrow is yet to come, you are going to have new friends, new surprises from over-planned life, new disappointments, new inspirations, and whatnot.

Do you ever just look at your friends and wonder — I wish I had what they have? You’re not a bad friend. You’re not jealous either. You just sometimes wonder — is there more to it? What’s the point of it all?

You keep thinking about things that should stay buried in the past. You hide behind your jokes and metaphors. you keep telling yourself — tomorrow, I’ll start a new chapter, but you can’t stop reading the underlined pages.

Your friends keep telling you that there’s more to life. It’s a bad day, not a bad life. You know it all. You believe it all — but today… today is a bad day. and you want to fix today. Perhaps, that’s the problem.

You are trying to solve a problem that can’t be fixed. Instead of letting go of what you’ve lost, you’re holding onto the last strands.
