The Year I Want My Choices to Feel More Honest
Tags: honest choices, intentional living, women, DG Speaks, reflection
A new year can make people talk about change like it is a costume we can put on overnight. I am less interested in that. In 2023, I keep thinking about honest choices, the kind that look simple from the outside but require real courage.
The Decision Beneath the Decision
The decision beneath the decision is where the truth usually lives. Am I choosing this because I want it, because I fear disappointing someone, or because it keeps an old version of me comfortable?
What My Body Already Knows
My body often knows before my mouth catches up. Tension, relief, fatigue, and excitement all tell the truth in their own language. That connects with women and rest and Black women storytellers.
Honesty Without a Press Release
Honesty does not need a press release. Some of the most powerful choices happen quietly: ending a habit, asking for help, changing direction, resting before collapse.
Choosing a Life I Can Stand Inside
A quiet tool like Calm can help me hear myself, while practical support from my Amazon shop can help organize the life around those choices.
I want to choose a life I can stand inside. Not one that only photographs well, but one that feels true when nobody is watching.
