I say no to pink.
I say no to sex without love.
I say no to rushed hellos with even more rushed goodbyes.
I saw no to a life spent measuring my worth against the stuff I am capable of accumulating.
I say no to investing my life in measuring myself at all.
I say no to empty small talk unless there’s love underneath.
I say no numbing my feelings or pretending I don’t feel what I feel.
I say no to chained thoughts or chained emotions.
I say no to turning life into a goal-machine.
I say no to sacrifice before joy and criticism before compassion.
I say no to making myself wrong for saying no to so many things….
that are making space to all that which I’m saying yes to.
