Tonight was meant to be awake.
Outside my window, young adults have become kids once again-
They scream, they shout, they laugh
rejoicing the moment,
Moment by moment.
Tonight was meant to be awake.
Inside our white-walled apartments, we toil with books and pencils
until we’re finished or until we don’t care anymore.
We lose track of time
moment by moment.
Tonight was meant to be awake.
Here, in this room, my lights are still on, my eyelids are still light.
I’m not counting the minutes;
They can pass in their own time
moment by moment.

The present and future are not about who you were in the past-rather, they are about who you are and who you will become.

Life surprises you! And I'm talking about the good stuff, because a bad surprise is not a surprise at all, it is just shock and horror. All of these good surprises, they are rewards, and the things that happen to remind you that you matter and that you should make yourself faithful so that you can be deserving of all of life's good surprises. Every wonderful surprise in life is a chance to flourish, so grab life by the horns-but don't ride, steer instead: life's horns are life's joystick. You can handle it, because your life's horns are made especially for you. If you don't give up, all of this will hold true and life will continue to surprise you.
