I choose

Everything I do, I choose.
I'm starting to believe in parallel universes. I think there can be so many outcomes from a single situation, even waking up. Everyday, turns out to be a certain way because of what we chose.

Thing is, we learn fast to choose something. What would you choose: an apple or a mango? we learn to pick the most common, most familiar choice. This is also the "safer" choice. That is tthe first thing anyone would choose within a split of a second. We call these habits.

Now, let's suppose that we are trying to change some habits. I usually drink tea in the morning. If I don't drink my tea, my morning is simply incomplete, and I feel it as so. That's why you don't want to eliminate a habit, you want to change it. It is easier to tell myself, well, no more coffee, I'll drink tea. No more tea, I'll drink a lemonade. No more lemonade, I'll drink water.

I choose...
I choose to do. Stuff. All kind of stuff. Like going out, having fun, living the moment. Like actually acknowledging the moment. I am in a pub. Surrounded by people. I smell smoke. I am hearing 3 close-by conversations and many others far away. Well, not that far. And music. Good music. All this sounds a bit overwhelming since I haven't been out in...OMG it's sooo long I can't even remember. It's a few months for sure. The Long Island Ice Tea tastes great. The hot chocolate is awesome. And my friends is giving me time to write this. And enjoy it. I choose to enjoy it. My life is far from perfect. Very, very, very far. Hence the Long Island Ice Tea drink. But, I choose to enjoy it.
