Choice #HEARTTOHEART

Nearly every single thing that we do from the moment we wake up involves us having to make a choice.

Your alarm rings, are you going to press snooze or wake up early and start your day? Of course, there's factors and circumstances that determine the choices that we make. Did you spend your night unproductively watching YouTube videos until 2am? Maybe your circumstances are weighing you down. Things with your family ain't too great, school drama is driving you insane and you had a fight with your boyfriend or girlfriend last night on the phone. Realistically, the snooze button seems like the easiest and best option. After all, a little more time in bed won't change, right? Choose to not let your circumstances give you a crappy start to your day. If you keep carrying baggage and worries from day to day, it becomes a cycle.

What to eat for breakfast? There's some leftover pizza on the table from the night before. It's convenient, and who doesn't love pizza. But there's a bag of oats in your pantry that you've neglected for a while because cheat meal turned into cheat day, and cheat day turned into cheat week. In fact, your energy levels have been so low because you've been skipping breakfast to make up for how much you ate last night, but binging after hours. "I'll start again on Monday." Don't lie to yourself, take care of the precious body that God has given to you. Choose to fuel your body with food that gives you the energy that you need, and don't forget to treat yourself with a slice of pizza on girls night so that you don't go insane.

She's "that" friend. When you're around her, you're not yourself anymore. It's like you're one of the mean girls. You made the choice to continue being friends with her because you're scared that it's too late, that she's part of your identity. Plus, you'll lose all of your friends if you lose her. I mean, she's actually really nice sometimes, she makes you feel special. But deep down inside, her attitude is contagious. It's not too late. Remember that the relationships that you choose to pursue in your life, lead you to your destiny. "Tell me who you follow and I'll tell you who you are" Choose wisely.

What. An. Idiot. He is really pissing you off. Usually, you wouldn't do this. However, it's been a pretty bad day and you didn't deserve what he did. In fact, he really does deserve a punch in the face. Don't let one thing lead to another; don't let regret be the result of your rage. "Be the better man", it's corny and cheesy. But is it really worth it? You choose.

Addictions and habits become what they are because of the choices that people make. "One more time." "It's not that big of a deal." "Everyone else is doing it." "I can't live without it." "It's too late to stop now."
You are strong enough, you are more than worth it. Make the choice to be honest with yourself. Set realistic and timely goals. Most importantly, choose to stick to them.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone goes through things that no one else will understand. It's something that has been on your mind for the longest time. Maybe you've even tried talking to people about it but it didn't give you the results that you thought that it would. It's so easy to give up and shut everyone out. It's easy to start pitying yourself. Don't you dare go around rehearsing your struggles to people who have been through the same thing, you'll end up weighing each other down. Choose to talk to someone who cares. Choose to find the beauty in the ugliest of times. At the end of the day, it all comes down to choice. That person may have hurt you, and that probably wasn't your choice. But they've consumed so much of your time already, are you going to let them steal your potential and time? Choose to love yourself enough to let go. Don't try and be your own superhero, it never works; you may not realise it but there are people out there who love you .Choose to accept that, and take action.
 
Just make a choice, and see where it takes you.


Hello lovelies :) I'm sorry that all my posts lately haven't been on time and aren't that related to beauty or fashion. [I received a few goodies from my brother when he went to America so a haul will be up very soon]. The past two weeks have been pretty hectic as I've been trying to prepare for exams. To be honest, I've been feeling really demotivated with my blog, my health + career goals and my studies. So I want to be real with my readers and share with you about choice. If you didn't know I actually started blogging when I was younger about all those cheesy tumblr posts. Some were cringe worthy, but I loved it. I hope this inspired you in some way or another. I'm definitely not perfect and I definitely don't make the best choices. But I hope you enjoyed this, let me know if you want more of these posts.
