Tomorrow can take care of itself.

Today is one of the days that I am just happy to be alive. I have no idea why, nor do I really have any reason to feel like this. I just am. What a wonderful thought that is! I just am! No requirements, no expectations, no push to be something more than what I am. I can just be me, I don't have to make anyone else happy I don't need to finish anything, I don't have anybody waiting on me. That is such a freeing thing to know. Honestly I don't want tomorrow to come. Tomorrow comes with stress, pain, tests, expectations, and people. Oh how I wish tomorrow didn't have to come, but alas time shall travel on with or without my consent. So I shan't think of tomorrow, I shall dwell upon the happier thoughts and feelings of today. Tomorrow can take care of itself.
