🔗 To fluctuate is to exist as a human

So I choose joy. I rebel. I decide when enough is enough. No one gets to have autonomy over my ability to do what’s right for me. I pick my battles every single day in the hopes that I make it through this unscathed. I focus on the things I can control. I make things. I choose joy. I alone can’t save the world, but I can make living in it a little bit more bearable for the people around me. Anything I do with that in mind is worth it.

You ever gonna fucking grow up and settle down? Shut up. I belong in flux. The worst times in my life were when I let my fear keep me from embracing change.
