where you want to be..

If time were as simple as the snap of a finger where would you go?

Go back in time to fix mistakes we knew we were making?

Venture forward to where we want to be?

Would it be worth to do either?

Going back to try and fix mistakes would mean that who we are at this very moment would mean absolutely nothing. Who we are, products of mistakes healed with time. Souls entranced with barbed wire regrets and loaded pistols, ready to strike when all we need is to breathe deep. Spewing deadly poison as a matter of first defense. Without conviction, we will never feel anything at all.

Skipping to the future is for those who are unhappy. The future to them is a means of forgetting who they are, and what they've yet to accomplish. Rather than accepting the gift of present, they are preoccupied with something out of their reach. Acceptance and understanding is not something they adopt in daily life. Experience, a word non existent in their vocabulary. Slaves to their own confinements, and to their own corrupt ideals. Making the best of now would be idiocy. Long term goals, impossible to be reached without accepting the present.

Without a fight, they fall.
