There's always something you keep choosing

It's not what you choose once.

 

It's what you keep choosing.

 

At first, we choose many things.

 

Almost everything seems right.

Almost everything convinces us.

 

It works, for a while.

 

Then something changes.

 

Days pass.

Then weeks.

 

And without realizing it, you start leaving things behind.

 

Some things stop making sense.

Others simply disappear.

 

You don't look for them anymore.

You don't wear them anymore.

You don't think about them anymore.

 

And then something different happens.

 

You start going back there always.

 

Not because you have to.

Not because it's new.

 

Because it works.

 

You take it without thinking.

You wear it without asking if it's right.

 

You no longer question it.

 

That's where everything changes.

 

You are no longer making a choice.

 

You are recognizing something that belongs to you.

 

The difference is subtle.

 

But it's what separates what passes

from what stays.

 

There is always something you keep choosing.

 

And when it happens, you understand.

 

Not because it's perfect.

 

But because it stops seeming like a choice.

 

And becomes part of you.
