Could?

What could you do differently?

I don’t like this question. Just wanted to put that out there.

What could I do differently? Literally everything.

I could brush my teeth left handed. I could drink my coffee black. I could become a drug addict. I could eat a “healthy”, plant based diet. I could go back to school. I could be a raging, nit-picky bitch. But I don’t do these things, because I don’t want to.

Then I think, “well, what should I do?” I really don’t like the word should because it implies obligation. And in many instances where people use that word, there is no obligation, there is only want. The only thing you really have an obligation to is yourself, your children (if you have kids), and to keep your word when you say you’re going to do something. And for the record, the order of priority of those obligations, as far as I am concerned is kids, self, then promises. Though some of us make a habit of confusing the last two priorities.

So yeah, that’s my non-answer answer.

Have a great night!
