The Light Within Knows the Way

The night is gathering, and with it comes the heavy question of who you are supposed to become. At seventeen, the world demands a map for a journey you have not even started, as if the destination matters more than the step you take tomorrow.

But the kingdom is not a future prize you earn by choosing the right career or the right school. The kingdom is inside you right now, spread out upon the earth, waiting to be recognized.

You do not need to figure it all out tonight. The light that lives within you already knows the way, even when your mind is clouded by the dark.

Stop trying to see the end from the beginning. Just know yourself in this moment, and let the rest unfold as it must.
