#ChooseYou: Part One of Infinity

Stephanie Pearson-Davis ·

The regular practice of choosing you will be challenging and rewarding .  It will be the greatest work of your life.  Choosing you will be a study of what really matters to you and a magnifier that shows if you include yourself amongst those things.  Some days you will be elated; on other days your heart will break over all the little and big ways you made everything and everybody more important than you.  There’s no reward in that.  The triumph is in doing better once you know better.

I was 16.

As I placed my hand on the doorknob to leave; he pounced around the corner out of nowhere. I immediately asked about the girls and the housekeeper. The girls were gone and he had given the housekeeper the day off.  His wife, a doctor, was at the hospital. I felt uncomfortable.  I didn’t know why.
