Today.
Did I do well
today?
Did I live fully
today?
Was I happy
today?
That's all that matters.
I'm not in Japan today.
I don't know when I'll be able
to go back again.
I don't know when my dreams
will be fulfilled.
But they will, one day.
And I can be happy
on the journey there.
Closing my eyes,
asking "am I there yet?"
while carrying this heavy
heart,
when this could be my last day.
These could be my last footsteps,
my last words.
What I should be doing
What I could be doing
is reminiscing in the gentle light
of the morning,
the sparkling snow and nostalgic cold
of winter,
the little bits of love in each day.
Each little step towards my dreams
should be filled with as much joy
as if I were standing there,
under the stage lights in Tokyo.
I should never forget my blessings
when I'm tempted to complain about
school, or going to the doctor,
or having to clean or do errands.
Rather, I should be grateful
that I have the privilege to do those things
at all.
Even when I'm at my darkest,
at my loneliest,
I'm in my warm house,
with a computer that access to the world.
Even on the days I feel like
I can't bring myself up from my bed,
there are people would love
to be able to walk with my feet.
And in the end, in the meaning of it all,
none of these things matter
These little problems, these things
that make me feel like my world
is falling apart.
Because in reality, I will never be alone.
I will always have something and someone.
I will have beautiful sparkles of memories
and love I gave to others.
Instead of regretting the road behind,
Instead of rushing further ahead,
wouldn't it be better
to walk slowly, observing the shapes my
footprints make,
or feel the wind in my hair
as Winter turns into Spring
and watch as the sky changes
its shades of blue?
We are all so insignificant
in the same way that we all
have the power to be
everything to someone.
So I am living today.
As if tomorrow won't come,
for all I know,
it might not.
But today is mine,
and today, I will smile
just a little more
than I did yesterday.
And tomorrow,
I will reach just a little further
than I did today.
Did I do well
today?
Did I live fully
today?
Was I happy
today?
That's all that matters.
I'm not in Japan today.
