Someday, I’ll have more money.
Someday, I’ll find more time.
Someday, I’ll travel to places I’ve only imagined,
stand on a mountain in Canada, breathe in the view.
Someday, life will feel lighter.
Someday, I’ll finally be happier.
Someday.
Where all the unknowns are finally known,
the mysteries unravelled, the struggles smoothed away.
Someday will be better than every day that’s come before.
I’ve waited my whole life for someday.
But in waiting, perhaps I risk missing the raw, unfiltered days.
The days that are here, now, with all their imperfections.
The days that don’t rest on hope but stand in their own truth.
The days that come, one after the other, quietly, steadily.
The many, not the few.
I don’t want to live only for someday.
I want to live for today—
to grasp it fully, to see it for what it is.
Because these are the days that make a life.
