Emotions.

You decide the kind of person you want to be. Not your parents. Not your spouse. Not anyone else.

It took me a while to realize this, in fact 25 years is a stretch but I think I’m getting there. Many a times, it seems like choices have always been made for me or even, influenced by others. But slowly, I’m learning to make choices for myself. In particular, the kind of person I want to be.

Be kind.

To be perfectly honest, I’ve been been raised to be independent and it came to an extent that I severely lack empathy. But you know what, I’m going to try to be better person. If you can afford to help, then help; if you can’t, then don’t. It’s no longer going to be “don’t help simply because”. It’s as simple as that. Be kind, not because it is right but because you truly want to.

Move on.

Also, I’m pretty done living in the past. I’ll stop redirecting my frustration at innocent victims when something triggers me. It’s just going to make my life miserable and my god why would we want to put myself through that. Besides, they have a whole lifetime to be miserable, we don’t need to add to that.

Choose happy.

I’m sorry I took so long to realize this. It’s about time we moved on. I think I’ll start choosing happiness from now on. Or at least what happiness looks like.

Shall we?
