I Choose Who I Want In My Life

I Choose Who I Want In My Life

I stay with you because you wanted to be with me when I didn’t even want to. You accompanied me in the darkest moments, when I turned my back on myself. I choose to have you in my life because you make me a better person, because I don’t know how to laugh or cry like I do beside you.

The truth is, I choose it because I decide who I want to have around, as this is one of the few things we really have freedom in. And nothing  makes me happier than sharing my life with the people I want by my side.

I choose you to be in my life

I get want to stay

One of the reasons I want you to be in my life is because you’ve shown me you want to stay in it. Perhaps this is even more important:  no one can fill us better than someone who honestly wants to do it.  As we meet new people, we can’t find the place they will occupy in our daily lives, but we quickly understand that every detail counts to stay or go.

let go who wants to go

Unlike what happened to you, I also choose who shouldn’t be in my life or I try to make the decision for me to forgive, to decide if it’s needed, to let go or not. What happens is that  nothing in our lives is a certainty, let alone our relationships:  no one can assure us that our biological family, for example, will be what we will call family later.

When we realize, growing up is precisely surviving this:  deep down, the people who like us are really the family we have, the one we choose. For the rest of the people who cross our lives and who are toxic relationships that bring us nothing, it’s better to let them go, because there’s no better gift for those who leave than knowing how to lose them.

I choose you to be in my life

I’m happy with the people around me

The advantage of making decisions is that we can get rid of many things that harm us. It’s the same with people:  deciding who we want to share our life with allows us to bet on happiness, on staying with those who make life stronger and more joyful.

  • You must always choose those people who stay in good times and bad,  those who enjoy their victories and share their defeats. The biggest advantage of having those we like on our side is not knowing who wins the most in the relationship.
  • I’m happy and that’s why I encourage you to be happy too, I advise you to run away from people who cause bad vibes and surround yourself with friends who really like you and who enjoy life. Remind yourself several times a day how important they are to you if need be, and demonstrate that you can be that to them too.
  • Don’t let time go by without making the decision to appreciate yourself and let yourself be appreciated:  choose and prefer who deserves to be in your life and take care of this person.
  • Never forget that it is often easier to remember the bad deed and not remember all the good things this person has done for us. Know how to forgive if you really want this person in your life  and give them a chance: you decide.
