When I was bitten by my dog
It could have been easier to stop loving dogs
but I chose not to
When I was bullied in school
It could have been easier to close myself and stop trusting
but I chose not to
When I was called fat
It could have been easier to hate myself and focus on my flaws
But I chose not to
When I quit studying
It could have been easier to stop believing in myself and give up
But I chose not to
When I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder It could have been easier to use medication to suppress it for the rest of my life But I chose not to
When I was being looked down on
It could have been easier to doubt myself and do nothing
But I chose not to
When I was betrayed by a dear friend
It could have been easier to close my heart
But I chose not to
When I experienced panic attack as I speak in public It could have been easier to run and never do it again But I chose not to
When I experienced a lot of insecurities and uncertainties
It could have been easier sulk and fall into self-loathing
But I chose not to
Life perhaps is the sum of choices that we make Be sure to make those that allow you to love, grow and expand
