Now, It’s What We’ve Got

Daily writing prompt
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

The present is where I like to stay. 
Trying to be as fully present as I possibly can while engaged in activities at hand has been my focus. So much so, that picture taking is non existent as it detracts from living in the moment, I think.

I cannot say I have always been this way. No. Looking back at the past and setting my sites on the future is how I used to live. It is not until one becomes faced with the possibility of death does one come to truly find value in today. Tomorrow becomes elusive and meaningless and provokes thoughts envy that hopefully if you are lucky, give way to pity. 

Staying in the present, living the moment, has such great significance yet it is greatly under valued. Most live today thinking of tomorrow in the very moment they should be enjoying what is being experience at hand. 

Because I experienced the possibility of not having a tomorrow, I no longer give away my today’s. 

I am left wondering, why do we obsess in tomorrows and what is wrong with todays?
