It also involves what youre willing to settle for in every other area of your world.
I am slowly learning that Im supposed to have agency over my own life.
Im not supposed to sit back while other people take the wheel.
DeMorris Byrd
Im supposed to make my own choices.
Im supposed to follow my own path.
I am slowly learning to saynowithout fear of what others might think of me.
Or because I dont want to cause any inconvenience.
Or because I want to choose the easiest way forward.
I am allowed to voice my opinion.
I am allowed to ask for what I want instead of accepting whatever I am given.
I am slowly learning my time is important.
My energy is important.
I should never have to waste those things on people or experiences that dont bring me joy.
I should never feel obligated to agree to something.
I should never feel like I dont have a choice because there is always a choice.
There are always alternatives.
I am never as stuck as I sometimes feel.
Im going to decide what is best for me.
Im going to make my own decisions.
Im going to follow my own heart.
Im going to listen to my own gut.
Its much better than allowing others to determine your future for you.
You have a right to disagree.
You have a right to say no.
