I rotate theme songs often, depending upon my mood.
Recently, it’s been this self empowerment anthem by Jess Glynne:
My life has been a not so long but still hard journey towards self acceptance; and no matter what, I’ve always been my own toughest critic.
This song resonates with me as a reminder that even on my worst days, I’m still not doing too badly.
Although pain is pretty much inevitable in life, suffering is often a choice.
(It was around the time that I learned I was going to be a mother that I decided to make a concerted effort to minimize my suffering. It’s been an ongoing work in progress ever since.)
