There is no Before and after
There is no sense in living the past and pretending the future
There is only the present
There is only Now With Memories and Goals

The author's comments:
Live in the moment but dont forget memories that define who you are. People always dwell in the past or think of the what ifs, and forget that right now is a gift, right now is the present.
