The Past Tense, The Present Tense and the Future Tense

The three major periods in life. Regardless of how old (or young at heart) we get, each of us carry with us yesterdays, todays and tomorrows.

My yesterdays seem so full of mistakes and regrets, so Taiwanese drama-like. What should've been the sweetest memories of my teenage years make me flinch. It's a little like a bad first cup of coffee. When one's first experiences are shadowed by the bitterness of that first sip that was supposed to be pleasing, one tends to show an expression that expresses much disgust at the expresso. And they shy away from coffee for a long, long time.

I just had my first cuppa early this year. I think I might be beginning to like it. =)


My todays seem interesting enough as I observe them. This evening I taught my baby brother how to use a skipping rope. Earlier in the night I strolled down the entire river side, legs aching, just like old times. Three days from now I work. Next week I might fly solo if my parents can be convinced that I won't wreck the car.

But tonight, my heart is warm because I just realized that I could still love. And I think I like me more because of that.


My tomorrows... I worry about too much. I think there's some mis-management in The Department of Sanity. My left brain and my heart aren't co-operating.

Dear God, please let me have enough faith to leave my tomorrows to You.
