Right now

Right this second someone is giving birth. Someone just lost their first tooth. Right now someone realized their role as parent has changed. And someone realized they need to change the way they parent.

Right now someone is riding a bike without training wheels and falling. Right now someone is refusing to get on a bike because they are afraid of failing.

Right now someone is falling in love for the first time. Right now someone is realizing their lover is about to die. And right now someone's lover has hit them for the first time.

Right now someone is consciously choosing to ignore their messy kitchen. Right now someone is planning to work late because they feel like they have to. Again.

Just now someone realized their face is covered with subtle but deepening wrinkles. Someone just found out they have cancer. Someone just became afraid of flying, and driving at night.

So you say life is not about what happens every second, it's about what you do with what happens. Don't you hate cliches? I hate them too, and pat answers. What do I do with it all?
