Gandhi

I'm scared of the future.
Every adult tells me that things will work out...they have hindsight bias.
I'm about as sure as Gandhi was that he would make a difference,
It feels like the right thing, but is it?
I guess all we can do is trust our personal Muses to guide and inspire.
And, perhaps more importantly, trust ourselves.

When we were young, our parents made a lot of our choices.
As we grow, we must make more decisions by ourselves,
And then own up the the consequences, good or bad.
But still, when will we own ourselves completely?

I get too caught up in thinking:
Decisions, the future, who I am.
Maybe it's a good thing, then, that I haven't finished that guide book.
I've gotten about halfway through and marked the pages.
Yet, it's hard to tell if it's helping or increasing my stress.

I keep forgetting to just have fun with life,
Otherwise it'll continue seeming like an endless, monotonous pattern.
I keep forgetting I'm positive,
Because I'm focused on now rather than the future.

I'll just keep following the light of the future,
And pray that it won't be the last time I see that light.
Live today for tomorrow.
