All that came before
Makes you what you are now.
Tomorrow will come
And you’ll be different somehow.
Similar, but developing.
An instant photo
Filling the frame,
Ever-ready to grow.
Choices and habits
Define the boundaries,
But you get plenty of options
To shape who you hope to be.
Don’t feel like it’s all decided.
Fate is a myth swallowed whole
By those unwilling to realize life is
A challenge, but it’s not all about goals.
