I used to be so caught up in the past

Caught up in all the old memories

I forgot that I was able to make more

New ones

Maybe even better ones

But I was already doing it

I was constantly making new memories

Whether I wanted to or not

I used to be so caught up in the past

Instead of being present

And hopeful about the future

But I’m starting to be excited

Excited for all the new memories waiting to be made

I had to remind myself that the future is inevitable

And so is the past
