But Life is Life

We are told 
To live in the moment. 
A moment, 
Every moment. 

Sometimes, we are victimized
For wanting to see the bigger picture, 
Or, for caring about the overal outcome. 

So maybe my opionon 
Is an unpopular one. 
But nonetheless, 
I don't think living in the moment 
Is all it's cracked up to be. 

We stress 
About little things 
Happening at this very second
In our very long lives. 

The way we look in middle school, 
The way our friend acted in a certain situation, 
That we were late by five minutes. 

Granted, some things in life do make 
Greater impacts 
Than just a few seconds or days 
Of stress, or harmful emotions. 

But most things, 
Especially when you're in high school, 
Don't last longer than those few seconds.

They don't need to, 
Unless you choose to stretch them out. 

Overall, 
Middle school is middle school, 
High school is high school, 
College is college. 

But life is life. 

Don't stress about the smaller stuff, 
Try to look at the bigger picture. 

And I'd say, 
As long as you're likinng the overal colors 
And composure 
And feel or your life's painting, 
You're doing pretty well. 
So don't stress about those few wrong brush strokes, 
They aren't noticable overall.
