In a year,

It won’t matter.

Without this reminder,

I would have lost my mind.

Telling myself that these things will pass,

And in a few years they will be nothing but

A distant memory and a good laugh.

---

In a year,

It won’t matter

Whether you started or not,

For time would have passed regardless

And you would have gotten the answer

To the question, ‘is this a good idea?’

---

In a year,

It won’t matter

You would have had new experiences

And met more people,

You would have seen that mountains

Begin to look like molehills the more steps

You take away from them.

---

In a year,

It won’t matter

Because everything would have changed

Especially you.

If all these things could happen in a year,

What would happen in two or three?
