When I was young, I could see the future.
It was filled with things that I would do - would become. It was filled with permissions, possibilities, and paths. It was clear and unclear - it was a mystery, waiting to be solved.
And what I saw... What I THOUGHT that I saw.......
I did not.
It was a figment. A phantasm. A fantasy.
What I see now, is that I could not see the future. I could not see what would be. Who I would become....
I could only see as far as my horizon would allow for - I could only tell you about the things that I knew about.
The things unknown to me at that time have shaped me more than I could have guessed. The unknown has become larger than what I knew. The more that I experienced, the less that I could be shaped by the smaller world view.
As I grew - I grew.
When I was young, I could not see the future. I could not see me, or you. Or this.... I could not see where I am, or who I am.
