thoughts of a dying atheist

i am constantly striving to let go of the past. there is nothing you can gain by dwelling in the past. the way that i see it, the you of today is better than the you of yesterday. the you of tomorrow will be better than you are today.

in realizing this, life is about momentum. it is necessary to constantly move forward. flowing water is alive, stagnant water is dead.

gaining momentum is oftentimes difficult, the first step is hard. the ones that follow become easier with each step.

like flowing water, life can only move one way, forward. a stream can not flow in two directions.

i guess what i really mean to say is, i'm proclaiming that i'm giving up my past. i won't allow it to haunt me anymore. anyone who i don't see as part of my present and future is slowly being erased from my life. that's all.

a couple of minutes ago, i realized i spent half of the day at school with my fly wide open. good times.
