Growing up, I knew that not to choose is to choose.

Think of the picture of us standing at the crossroads.

Then felt the cork until speechless

Because no matter which way it goes, there seems to be pain.

Or ourselves to lose something.

This article is written as a consolation hug on the day you feel like "Which choice is wrong?"

I get to choose who has access to me.
There was a time when I thought saying “yes” made me a good person. Yes to things I didn’t want to do. Yes to conversations that drained me. Yes to situations that disturbed my peace. But healing taught me something different. Protecting your peace isn’t selfish. Resting isn’t laziness.
