There's an unbounded freedom that controls my destiny. My life has always been exactly what I made it, but it is only now that I've allowed myself free reign to control it. I can be anything that I so desire, and the possibilities are endless.
Who shall I let in today? What shall I personify? A steady rock? A wilting flower? A breeze flowing carelessly through the trees? I cannot help but want to encompass them all, and I shall not allow myself to be defined by a single trait.
I have often wondered what would it be like if everyone's greatest flaws were as visible as mine. Pride worn like a badge on the sleeve. Jealousy engraved coyly above the eyelids. Greed like an unpleasant aroma, penetrating even the stuffiest nose. Ah, the beauty of discernment. Too bad the whole world has not been blessed with such a gift. Then again, if that were to be, I might have become bloated with vanity many days prior.
As it stands, I have recently become the trailblazer of my own future. Nothing, yet everything, stands in my way. Two paths tug gently on my arm, beckoning me thither & yon. I thought my path was set. I thought it unyielding and certain, but there is nothing certain about it. I could not have foreseen this. The future, is, after all, just that - untried, inexperienced, completely dependent, and changeable in every way.
There is an anxious tension within me, an unquenchable excitement for the unknown. Yesterday is no judge of what tomorrow will be, and I could not be happier.
