Interpretation
What this quote means
Focusing only on future aspirations can prevent us from fully experiencing the present moment.
This quote by Leo Buscaglia emphasizes the importance of living in the present rather than constantly deferring our happiness or achievements to a future point in time. It suggests that if we solely focus on what we hope to accomplish 'tomorrow', we may find ourselves perpetually waiting and never truly realizing our dreams or appreciating the life we are currently living.

We don't forget.... Our heads may be small, but they are as full of memories as the sky may sometimes be full of swarming bees, thousands and thousands of memories, of smells, of places, of little things that happened to us and which came back, unexpectedly, to remind us who we are.
