Sometimes there's one, or two, or three, or maybe even more than that, which we can't choose. Humans are one of them.
Who would you choose? Dad or mom? Without either, you might never exist.
Who would you choose? Older sibling or younger one? Without both, your family tree wouldn't be as full.
And who would you choose? Someone who loves and whom you love, or someone who loves you but you can't let go of in your life?
Without them, there's a big rock lodged in your chest, painful to swallow, painful to push out."

Arrested by Necessity
Do you have a favorite place to visit when you're overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you get overwhelmed by your thoughts? I suppose not everyone experiences the paralyzation that occurs when too many decisions creep in. I get knots in my (ample) stomach that twist and turn into cramps. Within minutes, my pulse increases and I force myself to remain calm, but anxiety starts poking at my chest like a toddler attempting to wake his papa for a snack. The cause of my tension is lost by this time, and my focus turns to slowing my breathing, "staying present in the moment," and remembering where I am and why.
