Inspired broken butterfly

Oh, how I froze today when I seen your picture. It's been a long while since I've done so. With no intention at all to find you, I found you. Beautiful pictures of happiness and love. Inspiring quotes from great poets, even verses from the Bible. And all the while, I was afraid terrified to see more. Will I see something that will set me back, bring me to a place in which I do not want to return? But as I turned the page, all I seen was more inspiration. It made me look upon myself and see how I was living life. Though I have had an adventurous life, I feel I don't go to my full potential. I'm satisfied to see on paper all that I have done, all the place that I've gone to see.....and for a while, it comforted me. But now I see, it all means nothing. Life isn't something you do a few times a year. It's something that is suppose to be year round, day in and day out. Living to the fullest and letting go of yesterday. Yesterday, no matter how great it was is gone forever. All that remains is the memory. Yet, that too shouldn't be held so tightly as I have down. The more you hold on to the past, the more of the future you lose. For the time being, I will try to live with a sort of amnesia. To make today count as if this is the first and the last. So here I am, letting go of all of those precious memories I've had. Not that I'm not fond of it but I won't end the chapters there. It will not finish by saying "that was the last time they saw one another." There will be more characters, more journeys, more adventures that will come. Life is like your favorite book that keeps coming out with a new book every few years. I will always love her, til the end of my days. But it's time to let some new characters in. It's time to start a new book.
