Amor fati: “love of one’s fate” ?️⠀
⠀
Every single thing that has happened to me, has become a part of my journey to who I am today.⠀
⠀
My stories are my identity, and they’ve taught me the consequences of my actions, both good and bad.⠀
⠀
I’ve seen, read, and listened to the consequences and actions of others, good and bad, too. And by traveling, I’ve experienced life beyond what I’ve known to be comfortable with. ⠀
⠀
I’ve pushed myself into uncomfortable situations over and over again until they were no longer an issue but something to look forward to, another opportunity.⠀
⠀
I am both content and hopeful with my place in the Universe, at the exact same time, and it is the most comforting feeling.⠀
⠀
The thing about fate though, is that it is not fixed.⠀
⠀
Your fate is consequential of the choices you make, like a never-ending “choose your own adventure” novel… and once you make a choice, the rest of the story unfolds and continues into a never-ending web of events.⠀
⠀
So, you can choose to remain still, or choose to go the high or the low road, but to think that you are doomed to a pre-ordained existence is a mistake. ⠀
⠀
You are at the wheel of your existence.⠀
⠀
You can’t control where you started from or the condition of the road you take, but you always have a choice to change your path. You ARE in control of your own fate, and whoever you LET influence those choices… well, it’s still on you at the end of the day. You are absolutely not a victim, you are ever powerful if you only let yourself see that.⠀

I’m taking a little more time to keep reading my books and a little less time responding to messages. You would be surprised how many people I get messages from DEMANDING my time or response, and those are the people I push away the fastest. I have enough stressors in my life, no thank you. Practicing self-care. ?⠀
