celebrate today.

i'm understanding now how little control i really have on the outcome of most things
and the feelings these things bring
but i'm thankful for the gift of understanding this today and not later on in life
the time for clarity is now.

i believe that everyone we meet and everything we see influences us in some way
but the ones we let inside our hearts help mold us into who we wanna be.
took me a quarter life to see what some spend lifetimes hoping to see and for this,
i am thankful today.

perception can be blinding, judgmental and confining
until we listen to the world that surrounds us.
so live each day with open hearts, guarded but hopeful,
see the world with optimist eyes,
and let love dance through your veins like champagne
celebrate today because tomorrow is never a guarantee.
