We can't prevent loss and pain.
We can't bank on things working out.
We can't count on people we love never leaving us, either by choice or circumstance.
What then is worth living for?
Soak in the beauty of this moment, of the people around us now, of the place we find ourselves regardless of how the future turns out. There is no guarantee things will always be the way they are now. Yet fearing the unknown muffles the joy of this present moment.
Find the love at this instant and enjoy it, let it make you smile. This is the thing of a full life.
