The Right To Choose

I thought I could be happy anywhere with anyone

after finally feeling the deepest contentment in my soul

that I completely forgot to ask myself

who keeps me happy,

what places keep me happy.

We are choosing our lives all the time

even if we have learned to accept life as it comes.

I was afraid to ask myself,

Do the people around me actually support my soul?

Do I like the life I am building for my soul?

Do I want this life?

We can only find peace if are calm enough to relax and feel free.

We are not honoring ourselves

if we let ourselves live in an environment

that our souls don’t want to be in.

We have the right to choose those environments.

We have the right to choose those relationships.

We have the right to choose those moments.

We have the right to change

in order to find more peace.
