A side note

It’s one of those days when time just flies by. Where something needs attention. While you are distracted. Who cares?

I am renewed today. I have been cleansed of my past. My visage is clear of the past. I am totally present.

I need not defend my distant transgressions. Rejoice. Neither do you. We are here today. We are renewed.

Take a moment to enjoy the moment at hand. Bask in the glory. Feel the warmth of the sand. And don’t be sad when the moment passes.

Or maybe, maybe the past is a burden. Not a blessing, but a burden. Not a treasure, but a stone.

Maybe you’d rather forget. Maybe you regret. Maybe your sins have been etched into the surface of your bones. The scars.

The scars, they do not forget. They live in the past and the present. They act as timelines. They record us. But they are not us.

Rejoice. Your deeds, your doings, your wrongs, your quarrels. They can all be forgotten. They live in the past.

Today is a new day. Even for a sinner. Especially for a sinner. Fear not, your past hasn’t won.

This is so... refreshing, somehow. There's a very rejuvenating feel to this piece of writing, and it really puts the writer into deep thought, and when it ends, it actually feels like you are out of a haze. I found this really inspiring and beautiful. Thank you so much for making the effort of writing it and sharing it with us.
Shelving it, because I believe that this is going to continue to inspire me whenever I am feeling low.
Great job! ♡

I agree with the logic in the words.

Very inspiring piece. indeed, whatever mistakes and errors we made in the past do not define us.

This is the sacred mantra of Happiness. The present, the now is all we have. Thats all that matters. I loved the wisdom and the beauty with which you said it. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for reading and reviewing! Living in the present is definitely a mantra that I follow now. Can't afford to be bonded to the past. You can only affect the present. And you can only affect your opinion on the past.

[Miss Marlette]

You are welcome. I agree. We spend all our lives in the present wasting it mulling about the future and regretting the past. Meditating on the present is the key. Have a great day.

Thank you! Have a great day yourself.

I really liked this poem. You are correct we do have a chance to start fresh each day and live in the moment. Let the past go and heal from the inside out by moving forward. I like the details in this poem and the emotions that you have shown.

[Split Voices]

Thanks for the review! Each day definitely is a fresh start. It is just hard for some people to take advantage of that opportunity. The past is nice but it shouldn't congest your present. Live, don't relive.

[Poetic Beauty]

I agree. Memories should be cherished not regretted and life is made to move forward. You did an amazing job conveying this message.

Thank you! Glad you appreciated it!
