the moment i’m asked i say yes because i can, not because i want to; but because i have a choice,   and at least     this way       i get to choose         what happens,           rather than be             put in a position               where i don’t.

my reflection on the human need to make decisions—not always driven by desire, but by a need to avoid powerlessness; and how sometimes saying yes is about reclaiming the pen to write your own story rather than be trapped in someone else’s.
