My Choice

8/31/24

Today I have made a choice. In a world of unfair treachery and hate, I promise not to add into the sum-value of negativity. I promise to dedicate my lifeblood into finding a light – for others, for myself – in my strongest capabilities, that shines a beacon of beautiful hope – realistic hope, achievable contentedness – for everyone. I promise not to add onto the hate we pass. I promise to stand up for myself on a track nobody wants me to follow; a trail of confidence and self-assuredness. I promise that my love will outweigh the hurt i inflict onto others, whether purposeful or mistaken.

This is the choice I made, today, in bed. I’ve made it in hopes of reaching a placid solitude in an expedited duration of time. In other words, I want to be happy. The only way to do that is to make sure everyone else, in a realistic sense, is not worsened by my existence. I hope to make you smile, laugh, or (at least) feel as though you belong. You do belong. I promise not to make anybody’s life harder to live. That is my choice tonight.
