Tunnel vision

by zackripley

The future might not seem too bright right now. Maybe you don't see one at all. And that's OK. Sometimes people only see what they feel. What they feel is like they've hit a wall. But looks can be deceiving. You may still see a wall. But there's more. If you turn to your left, you'll see a door. To your right, there's a sign that says "coming soon." Turn around and you'll see another one. This one says "construction zone." You may ask "how come I never noticed all this before?" Because you develop tunnel vision when all people tell you is that the future is bright and right in front of you. But there's more. The future is ahead of you, but it's changing every day. Just like you. Because the fact is it's your future. Which means you have the final say of what it looks like.
