A Symphony of Choices
Weaving the Tapestry of Life
In the canvas of existence, a spectrum of decisions,
Each stroke, each colour, a testament to our will.
Linger in shadows of frustration, or bask in growth's light,
Drown in complaints' echoes, or carve a path through action's might.
The past, a ghost whispering, haunts with memories tender,
Yet forward lies the realm where dreams awaken and render.
Challenges, mere stepping stones in life's river vast,
Do not sculpt your soul, your choices, they define at last.
In time's dance, weave your tapestry,
With threads of courage, resilience, and grace.
Rise with the dawn, breathe new beginnings,
Let go of the weight that tethers your spirit's wings.
Every setback, an opportunity to learn,
Every failure, a seed for triumph to grow.
In adversity's crucible, find your strength,
Forged with determination's fire, a beacon's length.
When storms assail, and skies weep their sorrow,
Stand firm, an unyielding rock against the tide.
For within your heart lies the compass of destiny,
Guided by choices, by decisions, by resolve's might.
The journey, an odyssey of countless roads,
Each step a testament to your unwavering will.
See beauty in fractures and scars,
For they are the marks of a life truly lived.
In existence's symphony, be the composer,
Conducting with purpose, with passion, with love.
For in the end, it is not the challenge that defines you,
But the choices you make, the paths you tread.
Embrace the power within, the freedom of choice,
And let your life be a masterpiece, a story of hope.
Be, grow, transcend,
For in every choice lies the essence of your soul.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
