What Makes My Heart Beat Now

What excites me today
is not the road I’ve already traveled,
but the path that lies ahead.
I look back not to dwell on the past,
but to find clues for where I’m going.
Exploring who I used to be
helps me understand who I might become—
or what I might never become.
Yesterday may have been tough,
but thinking about what’s possible from today forward
makes my heart race.
Even the confusing, painful moments I’ve lived through
have quietly become the fuel
that pushes me forward with more strength than ever.
