Eraser Dust

If I could:

I would not break his heart.
I would stop pouting and smile at my parents.
I would just stop when I was unhappy.
I would get up earlier and enjoy the blissful early morning quiet.
I would not put it off.
I would get a dog before I met Mr. Practical.
I would stop worrying about things out of my control.
I would call her before her number changed and she was gone for good.
I would apologize to them.
I would stop rushing into judgment so quickly.
I would show off that 18 year old body.
I would study less and party more.
I would be braver and less insecure.
I would love more, laugh more, and smile through it all.

I will:

Live now.
Enjoy now.
Stress out later.
Jump up and down every day.
Scream out the frustration.
Curl up to him in the middle of the night.
Leave my cell phone at home.
Call her every week.
Forgive them.
Forget that.
Think happy thoughts.
Help fix the wrongs.
Kiss the boo boos.
Push the swings.
Live the life I've been given.
