Choices II

"Help ignite a light or live in someone else's light. Are these the only choices you have?"

The choices we make are the choices we create.

You get so caught up in helping others or basking in someone else's light that you forget the light present within you. You struggle trying to make the right choice and you finally realize that sometimes it's OK to choose 'you'.

You are strong. You are powerful. You are beautiful. You are handsome. You have an eternal light within you. All you have to do is reach deep within you, past the hurt and the pain, past the filth and through the darkest valley within you. You move through it all, only pausing now and again to dwell on the few memories that will help make you stronger, help you shine brighter. You start to move swiftly. You are terrified, after all fear is only natural.

You tend to forget that this darkness present within you, is the same darkness that you created. It was once your choice. As soon as you begin to accept  this you realize that even the darkest part of you isn't that dark at all.

Slowly you realize that you had no reason to fear. That you need not make choices only concerning others and not yourself. That through your light, others may find their light. You are an inspiration. A role model to all those engulfed in darkness.

'You' are your choice.
