: I figured this out long ago, and it has put me at odds with a lot of people, including family, close friends, longtime friends, former friends, colleagues, former colleagues, and others. It's one thing to be hopeful but another entirely to be selfish and delusional. (No, that's not a nice way to put it, but it seems the only way to put it to get some people to actually think about it.)

: Predictably, I received a LOT of angry DMs from people who felt incredibly seen and personally attacked by my comments, and all of them used the rationale that it was someone else's systemic oppression over the centuries or millennia that "forces people" (read: them) to do it. Then there's also the classic stitch that "those other people are way worse about it than [them]". -- Behavior is a choice. It may initially be a reflex, but if continued, soon enough it's a choice.

This is a really great concrete analogy for someone like me who struggled until very recently with the expectations society tells us we should have of our families of origin.

I am not going to waste time or energy being mad at a person who doesn't have oranges ๐ŸŠ because they are a hardware store ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ. That doesn't make any sense.

Keeping myself at peace โ˜ฎ๏ธ for my chosen loved ๐Ÿ’– ones is a much wiser use of my time and energy.

What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
