It is said that every story has been told or written before. ”There are no new stories to tell,” they say. But as we know, they keep being retold and rewritten with a new twist, for a new audience. The same is true of every life; the ones before us and the ones that will come after us. They all have similarities to our own, but none exactly the same. Each one, unique in its own way with its own twist on life.

We all have preconceived notions of what our lives should look like. We plan, we work, we count on reaching our planned destination. But then, the irony in life steps in, changing virtually every plan we ever envisioned. But if we are wise enough, we know that between what we expect and what we get out of life, there is meaning. There is a reason for it all.

It Seems like Yesterday is that unique story you haven’t heard that can change the way you see your own life. In this one simple life, you will see that our lives are not our own, and that no matter who we are or where we come from, we impact the people around us our whole life. It doesn’t matter whether we are picking fruit from a tree or wearing a three-piece suit on Wall Street; it doesn’t matter if we’re young and vibrant, or living in a rest home the last years of our life: Our lives do matter.
