Free yourself

"Overcome your uncertainties and free yourself from dwelling on sorrow. If you delight in existence, you will become a guide to those who need you, revealing the path to many."
-Sutta Nipata

The more I live, the more I see this to be true. The more I live the more habits I develop. And the more habits I develop the harder it becomes to overcome the things in life that I have not yet known.
The horizons that have not yet been explored, the states of mind that have not been questioned and the people that I keep at an arms length.
The harder it becomes to open windows to the unknown. And those closed windows quickly become dirty, clouded from years of closure.

Tonight, as I feel sorry for myself, I repeat these words in my head. Knowing that I can guide others with my sorrow once I choose to overcome the uncertainty that lies in the future of tomorrow. And sadly (I guess I am 20 and all my friends are sold) this uncertainty applies mostly to the lack of boys lined up outside my door...
Perhaps I continue down my path, alone, and certain that once I continue to guide I will find those who need me, or those who I need.
