Sometimes it feels as if what I want doesn't even matter anymore.
Sometimes I wonder if there really is ever such a thing as freedom of choice?
It's funny how you're being asked to choose or decide on your own but in reality, you don't really have a choice to begin with. It's as if a predetermined choice is already expected from you.
Making a choice entails the consideration of many factors. Making a choice involves the collaboration of both the heart and mind. Making a choice means that you are taking full responsibility for whatever consequences or repercussions. Making a choice may create fear, doubt and uncertainty but nothing in life is certain anyway. We can never know or predict the outcome. Making a choice is a risk in itself.
While the experiences and wisdom of others may be helpful, ultimately it is still your life to live, not theirs.
So hopefully someday if not now, we'll all find the courage to make choices regardless of how others may react, regardless of what others may say, regardless of the doubts and uncertainties. Regardless period.
More importantly, may we all have the courage to follow our hearts.
Life is too short to live on choices made by others for us.
