We will never reach tomorrow. We spend all our time waiting for tomorrow. Planning for tomorrow. Putting things off until tomorrow. Saying we'll be better tomorrow. But eventually we run out of tomorrows. We aren't even guaranteed one more. And even if we were; it will never be tomorrow. Tomorrow is a time period that will forever be ahead of us. In 24 hours there will be a new tomorrow. We won't call the time period 24 hours from now tomorrow. We'll call it today. We will only ever be in today. We waste our whole lives waiting for something we will never reach. I feel like my life hasn't even started yet, but I'm probably almost 16% through it by basic life span. So when will it start? Tomorrow? I tell myself it'll be after I graduate. But I used to tell myself it would be when I got in highschool. Will it be when I finish college? Or when I retire? Will I spend my entire life waiting for it to start? We're always waiting for something, but will we ever be done waiting? Will there always be something new to wait for?
I tell myself my life will start tomorrow
and I'm beginning to feel like that's the saddest thing I can do.
I'm beginning to see the convenience of pre writing. Though clearly still not the convenience in editing.
