i measure my life
not in the kind you'd assume
how long i have lived
metres and kilometres
of how long i have walked
or in the amount of litres
of my favorite juice.
no,
i measure my life
in the amount of
goodbyes
and hellos,
or how many
"Sorry's"
can fit in
a day,
I measure my life
with the amount of times
I have cried
or laughed-
So far about a thousand and eighty one
in the former.
I measure my life
with the amount of
people who have simply left
or
people who have stayed
because to truly embrace life for what it is
is to not count the amount of years you have lived
but to
count the moments
in the years.
the moments that count-
are the ones
most worth remembering.
