Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow is a mystery...
But, today is a gift....because it is the Present.

If anything exists it would be the present. It shouldn't be too hard to make a logical case that neither the past nor the future are anything but an epistemological construct and are not based in anything more concrete than the electronic impulses that feed the synapses of an individuals brain.
But remember, the present is like a point on a plane, without length or volume. It is instantaneous and continuous at the same time.

Only the present exists.

Time is not a physical material that it should exist or not exist. It makes no sense to ask if the present, past or future exist. None of these exist because existence applies only to the physical universe. Since time depends on the existence of the physical universe, it follows that time is possible as long as the universe exists. Remove the physical universe and time becomes meaningless.

It is to me the same thing as asking if you exist.
If you know you exist, if you live consciously than your present is reel to you, but you can't never be sure of the present of others, exception made for what unite all our presents as human beings.
I think that we have a lot of similarities in our presents. We bet to much on our differences but that is another question.
So. I will say yes the present exist but it depend on the level of consciousness you live by.

it is the only thing that really exist for that fleeting second, cause all else in the the past. Even as I write, I am in the present, but as I close with the last period, I am not in the past.

Yes the present exists. That is the ONLY thing that exists. This is our life - - - THIS MOMENT. And we so exist in this moment if we so choose.
One of my greatest mentors used to say: "Seize the moment". I agree. That is life - the very life of life.

Time moves too fast for there to be a present, by the time i submit this answer i would have written it in the past.
