The “after” cannot be defined. But the “now” and our moment in the particular moment can. For this reason alone, we need to live and enjoy things as they come to us each time. And if the daily grind overwhelms us, if the work seems endless, and our emotions are scattered around, without any reason or substance, we need to acknowledge them and live each moment meaningfully, because the moment we are expecting may never be. In one fraction of a minute can be devastating and catastrophic and we may lose once and for all all those future moments we dreamed of. 

Love has no reason to wait. It is the greatest gift we have been given and once we feel it, it is imperative that we communicate it, no matter the cost. That is the purpose of this text. We have laid down some of our concerns and reflections regarding our “now” and our “after”. For every postponement, for every no, for every expectation. For all of us to reflect and see how important the present is before we finally take life into our own hands. For as long as we can.
