They tell me that I should 

forget the past,

live for the present,

and don't worry about the future.

Haha yeah, okay...

The past is what makes me who I am.

Those lacerations in my pride...

Those joyous moments of conquering something...

If I forgot them, who would i be?

I am not who I am without going through what I experienced

Of course I live in the present

That's where I make my mistakes

That is where I learn

And as for the future...

Well last time I checked I am human

Which means of couse I am going to ponder what I am going to do

I  think about my legacy

What i am leaving behind?

How am I going to make my mark on other people?

Not saying I don't do that now

I do 

But I want to know what I am going to do in life

I can try and figure it out now, in the present

Taking what i did,  in the past.

So if anyone tells you that

You should forget the past,

Live in the present

And don't worry about the future,

Don't  you dare listen to them
