perspective

the last couple of yrs, i've become hyperaware
that i have more time behind me than i've got ahead.
not so much in the sense of fearing mortality,
just realizing that it's better to be here now
(rather than obsessing over the past
or fretting over the future)
because ultimately, this is all we've got
so better make the most of it
'cos there isn't always gonna be a "next time."
