Just like how I've learned to make peace with the choices and storms my past self left behind. So for now, I'll do my best with the version of me that exists in this moment, and I'll make sure he has something worth smiling about before the sun goes down.
As someone who lives for the present, I've stopped trying to read the map of tomorrow. I leave that chapter to my future self, he'll figure it out, he'll understand the roads I couldn't see from here.
