In the midst of the challenges I'm facing and transitions I'm still navigating, one thing sticks with me: I choose joy. Yes, I cry and yes, I feel incredibly sad, but ultimately I choose joy. I choose joy believing that joy is not a destination or a final goal, but a state of being. Even when life seems gray and I feel lonely, I still choose joy.
I value the opportunities I have to learn and grow, the tears I shed, and the moments of darkness that force me to look inward and reflect on the choices I'm making and have made. I do not expect nor do I wish for my life to be without challenges, to be constantly sunny or "perfect", whatever that may mean for me. But through these periods of growth and reflection, I choose joy as my primary motivator.
And given the alternatives, I don't think joy is a half-bad choice.
