“Bad Decisions In the face of the duality of the world, line starkly drawn The good follow the decree, the bad frowned upon The rules and desires lived side by side Who was truly free, and who was straught bide? In the decisions you make, your path unfolds Either stradled by the norm, or the scowl of the desires Living in denial is the perpetual rite Was the darkness first, or was it the light? In life, the weight of the bad decisions are akin to levy They are the simile to the stigma of the society But ponder, had Fleming not left his lab in disarray, Would we have the Penicillin and its astounding fay? Would the harry potter's tales be as elusive Had Rowling's work not cast aside, intrusive? The abysmal decisions are the callus to the fractures The trump card in its dreadful adventures They aren't the woeful stories or substance But, a paving tale in the life's grand scheme of nuance”

“There’s nothing wrong with seeking input and fresh perspectives from others.

“Setting boundaries is easy... Holding boundaries is what's hard. But then, over time, something miraculous happens. You set the boundary, you do what you need to do, and you immediately feel lighter, freer, less burdened-- not every time, not with every person-- but with some people every time-- and with every person sometimes-- and a new habit forms of doing it in a way that works better for you and not making yourself suffer for that. I love feeling that I've made a good decision for myself, for the situation, for the long-range outcome.”
