Not "I have to" but "I choose to"
Written @ 7:14 a.m. on 2023-03-17

I have to quit smoking-
I choose to love my lungs, feel my feelings, smell smells and taste tastes
I choose a fresh feeling mouth, I choose freedom from buying them and needing breaks

I have to work out-
I choose to feel energetic, strong, happily exhausted, wonder about my amazing ever evolving fleshy human suit
I choose to play like I did when I was a baby, I choose to move like an animal

I have to be there for my family-
I choose to connect with the people I've been through so much with, I choose to know them, I choose to love them and be loved by them

I have to keep breathing--
I choose to be fucking alive, a livelier alive, feel the sun, stretch, play with cats, scream, love, cry

Turns out there are lots of "have to's" that I don't want to turn into "choose to's"

Fuck em, BEGONE

I feel sweary

It's fun 😊
