Living at the edge of our faces.

You know what?

It's important to take care of ourselves.

Each of us are the only ones responsible for our lives.

People can support. People can persuade.

But, ultimately, at the end of the day, YOU have to make choices as to how you're going to live.

I thought about choosing to be too hungry today.... but then I thought "Why would I choose to not give my body what it needs? That's a form of self-harm. Why would I choose to harm myself. Come on now, I know better than that."

We are responsible for ourselves.

We are responsible to feed our bodies so that our mood is better, our energy is better, our thoughts are better.

We are responsible for trying something different, if your current way of existing isn't working as you'd like.

We are responsible for shifting our view from inwards, thinking about our bodies, our emotions, to outwards, thinking about who's around you, the task at hand, the weather, the aesthetic beauty around you, the humor around you... even the sadness around you.

So... head up...chin up

Arms uncrossed.

Shoulders back and relaxed.

Arms swinging.

Steps powerful.

Smile on.

Eyes scanning.

Looking for goodness.

Looking for gratitude.

Looking for humor.

Looking for life.

Go talk to someone.

Go jump into a conversation.

Go be brave and do whatever it is you're avoiding.

Make the phone call.

Eat the meal.

Agree to social plans.

Open your window.

Raise your hand in class.

State your opinion.

Confidently, let's step into our days and meet our lives full throttle.
