Dear Human💕,

Remember that Musical you told me about? The one with the puppets. Avenue Q.

I don’t like musicals, but I liked the button you brought back to be kicked off the table that said “Everything in life is only for now”.

The good things and the bad things are only for now. That means two things:

Appreciate the good things while you can.

Trust that the bad things will pass.

We’ll get through this, it will be okay.

Yours,
Cat 🐾

Lots of people don’t.

Well, who does, really? Everyone’s a little bit unsatisfied.

Everyone goes ’round a little empty inside.

Gary:
Take a breath,
Look around,

Swallow your pride,

Kate:
For now…

For now…

You’re going to have to make a few compromises…
For now…

Only for now (For now!)
Only for now!

Only for now! Sex!

Relax,
Let life roll off your backs
Except for death and paying taxes,
Everything in life is only for now!
