I was doing something thinking today. Not always a good thing in my case. LOL!
Anyway, I was thinking that we had no choice in the BD. But everything else after that, we did.
It is our choice how we react, how we act, what we say. Our choice of whether to act with dignity or not. Our choice in whether to stand or not, whether to love or not, whether to strike out in anger or retaliation.
And though my life is a very difficult one in many ways, I am so glad I made the choices I did.
It was ectremely difficult this, that is for sure. But it means something if at the end of the day, you can look in the mirror and be ok with who you are and how you've acted. It means something to know that you loved with all you had, so much so that you let go.
The choices we make, the stands we take, the lives we touch and love, all matter. It all matters.
