I had an msn conversation recently that went something like this:
"I am not sure about the whole monogamy thing but we are giving it a try.
me: It just needs to be someone you REALLY want to be with
Well, it's more the feeling of being tied down."
While this conversation was about a specific subject, it made me reflect on what I perceive as the causality of making choices.
This person was feeling tied down because of a choice that she took. No one forced her into it, she wasn't coerced in any way in order to reach that decision. Yet, she feels tied down by the choice. This made me realize people generally feel like that. I tend to feel differently about the choices I make.
I am master of my domain. My body and mind are my own and the decisions I take liberate me. The decisions I make are my own, they are the manifestation of my will on my environment. Even if I am caught in a catch-22, I still get to chose how I will be damned.
What if every decision you took made you feel empowered. Once you set your mind on something, live with that choice fully. Embrace the manifestation of your self that emerges from the decisions you make. Live as though every choice was instigated by you and no one else. Believe me, it will make you proud one day and no ties will ever be able to bind you.
So tell me, are you the master of your domain?
