This too shall pass

I'm always told that I must live in the now. And I'm always stressing about whether I'm doing it right. And then my worries take over, and I cannot focus on the now. Except when I reflect back on the past and am reminded that worries came and went and life goes on.

And I know that, in time, all will be alright. And then I just am. 

Is life like a drop of water?

Sometimes I like to remind myself that my life is like a drop of water in the ocean:

Sometimes it’ll be rough, sometimes it’ll be muddy, and sometimes sharks will surprise me. And sometimes it’ll be clear and still and carry me to wherever I need to be. But it cannot stay in one place.
