The Most Gorgeous Word #920
Dear Sumaiyah,
Today I wanted to bring our awareness to one of the most gorgeous words we can possibly imagine… the word is CHOICE. Remembering that we have a CHOICE can sometimes be challenging because truly, there are so many things that are going on that make us feel like we don’t have a choice.
When I’ve worked with women who have had really hard lives, one of the things they say is: I didn’t choose to come here and I have to keep choosing to stay. When people have experienced trauma, most of the time they don’t experience that trauma as a choice. Although choices that they made may have led up to that, maybe, maybe not.
Do we choose our parents?
Do we fall in love with someone who seems lovely for years and then suddenly turns violent?
Can we be at choice for all of that?
We look at these really hard things and our desire is to believe we’re at choice every step of the way, but because we don’t actually have control over others, and even sometimes ourselves, choice is this really delicious and challenging word.
