I tried finding my spirit guide when I was very young and inexperienced. To sum it up lightly, I summoned a nasty spirit and it soured me on the idea of guides or guardians of any sort.

Now I'm older and seeing what I did wrong in that situation. I hear the guide chooses the person, correct? How do I go about finding my guide? What if I just don't have one, because none chose me?

This situation is not urgent by any means, so take your time with replies. I'd also really loved to hear your experience with finding your guide and what you learned.
