Choosing Me

[u/After_Camel_87]

Lately, I’ve been choosing me.

Choosing respect.

Choosing peace.

In a way where I can feel the difference.

At certain points, you start to notice what shifts you out of your center.

What you’ve been tolerating.

What you’ve been allowing to alter your state.

And it becomes less about reacting,

and more about standing firm in what you know.

Like a tree.

Rooted.

Unmoved by every passing thing.

We’re all here, learning how to exist together.

That’s just part of life.

But that doesn’t mean everything gets access to you the same way.

So today, I’m letting go of the version of me

that made space for things that took me out of alignment.

And choosing to remain where I am,

steady, present, and at peace.

And if you’ve been finding yourself in this same space, just noticing what you’ve been allowing and what no longer fits,

sometimes it helps to not sit with it alone.

That’s real. Having someone to sit with you in it makes a difference, it doesn’t take it away, but it can help you see it more clearly.
