just keep chasing pavements.

you get lost and end up on a dead-end back road. what happens next?

a couple of things are possible.

a. someone walks out of the woods and up to your car, and hands you a map.

b. you drive to the nearest gas station, and ask where you should go from your current position.

c. you get out of your car, kick the non-functioning blue door on the passenger side, and scream at the top of your lungs.

since choice A almost never happens, and C is almost completely ineffective, we'll explore choice B.

you know the manual that comes with your car, television remote, or cellphone?

you lost it- and my guess is that you only miss 'the manual' when your gadget breaks or malfunctions.

the bad news about us, as people..is this:

we never had a manual. there aren't any directions for when we are lost, confused, or have a broken heart.

when we feel like throwing our hands up because there isn't a set answer on where to go from where WE are, we should recognize this, the good news:

the good news is this:

we never had a manual. there aren't any directions for when we are lost, confused, or have a broken heart.

you'll notice that the bad news here is quite similar to the good. the reason?

it's true.

we Do have a path to follow, but that path is one onto which we lay the cement as we move across it. this means that we can always create a new way, no matter how lost we end up.

we have friends, lovers, parents, siblings, and acquaintances who help us through the moments where we are lost. connections from person to person allow us to each share our views, fears, hopes, and experiences. born with a guide? no. but the guide that we help each other write is specific to us, and the worth of this is immeasurable.
