Realizing a Simple Truth

I suddenly realized a simple truth - you need to take care of yourself. Definitely. Don't count on having another life in reserve, and then another. Don't get upset over trifles. Shield your soul from intrusion, leaving space only for loved ones. Don't chase after those who chose a different path. Don't adapt to anyone, hiding your feelings behind a mask. Don't prove to anyone that you're either better or worse. Leave lies for those who relish them. Live here and now. Love, laugh, breathe. Breathe deeply, you understand? Because tomorrow... who knows what it holds for us...
