I got the idea for this piece, just thinking about my life and where it stood on the bigger picture of things. It is so short when you think about it. Time goes on forever. And we only get to experience such a small part of it. But as long as we don't take it for granted, it could be wonderful. However, it is funny because I can think of another poem that I could write talking about the exact opposite of what I was writing about. Saying that we need to control our own fate and not just wait on the world to bring us places. But in a sense, it would be fate for us to realize that we need to change our own fate. So it is kind of confusing when you think about it like that. But I still agree understand why somebody might have another point of view on the subject. And maybe even I don't want to accept that fate decides where we go, and I still don't even know if that's true.
