How do you measure?

There's so much that goes in our lives that we often get lost in it. But no matter what there is a certain point where we come to a stop, and see how far we have come, what have we done, and where are we heading to. People say, "what matters is today" and one should not bother to look back. But, I think that's a lie. I know that in the dead of the night when we are all alone and things don't work the way we want them to, we think about it, we ponder, we do ask questions. We DO look back and we also DO think about tomorrow. As we stand in the present we wonder how do we measure the years that have passed.

How is it measured??

Tears
Joys
Laughs
Sadness
Bills
Report Cards
Sunsets
Daylights
Midnights
Cups of coffee
The life with friends
Truth that we learned
Bridges we burnt
Forgivness
Smiles
Everytime we said 'Thank You' or 'Sorry'
Or how we love?

Yes, It is measured in love. In how we love others unselfishly, in how we love ourselves and sometimes not, and in how we receive love or foolishly won't. Love is the measure of how we live our lives, no matter what.
