#my choice

[frommyfavoritebooks]

I wasn’t scared of regretting not having a child. But I was scared of regretting having a child. I was scared of bringing an unwanted life into this world. I was scared of living my life, feeling like I’d anchored myself to the wrong dock. I was scared of being pushed to do something I knew I did not want.

Gonna try being a he/they for a while I think. Been doing a lot of thinking while I've been off sick & feeling more male as time goes on. Might change again at some point but trying things out.

Today’s thought… choices. Every day we make choices. Today I am looking up and seeing the sky and making the choice to see the beauty in the clouds with the breaks of light coming through them. I choose the light. My focus today is seeing the light. My choice.

But it’s fine. It’s fine! He’s trying to be supportive, alright? Buck came back from the dead and hasn’t found his footing yet, no matter how much he tries to pretend he’s the same he’s ever been and no matter how much Eddie tries to talk to him about it. Neither of the two has apparently been working, so Eddie’s taken matters into his own hands and taken a bit of creative liberty with it.

A double date with his best friend and his expert-in-death girlfriend, and the girl he swore he’d never have a second date with. As far as Eddie’s concerned, this is the best idea he’s had in a while

“This is the worst idea you’ve ever had,” Hen exclaims two days later when Eddie finds the courage to tell her about the double date, her eyes incredulous behind her red rimmed glasses. “Are you out of your mind?”

When he came in this morning, Hen had taken one look at him and dragged him into the bunk room by the crook of his arm and well- Eddie’s only a man. One knowing look from a 5’7 outraged lesbian and he’s folding like a cheap garden chair. 

“What?” he asks defensively, voice unusually high as he fidgets with the bag still on his shoulder. “What’s so wrong with it?”

“What’s so- Eddie,” Hen looks at him like he just confessed to a murder. “A double date. With Buck and his- death doula.”

“I think he’d rather we called her his girlfriend,” Eddie replies, words dry on his throat. 

“Don’t be funny with me right now,” Hen points a menacing finger at him. “We’re talking about a date where you’re somehow not going with the guy you’re in-”

“Hen,” Eddie says, panicked. The bunk room is empty and no one else from A shift is in yet- other than Bobby in his office- but the mere thought of hearing about his feelings out loud has his breath speeding up a little.

Hen softens a little at that, still looking too much like a disappointed mother for Eddie’s liking. 

“Eddie,” she says. “Why are you putting yourself through this?”

“For Buck,” he replies without a hint of hesitation, because if he’s sure of anything, it’s that he’s doing this for his best friend. The entire thing feels like trying to drag an endless line of barbed wire out his throat through his entire body, but if it’s what Buck needs to be okay, to be with someone who understands him and doesn’t expect him to be same old Buck, then Eddie can take it. “He- he likes her so much, Hen, it’s the least I can do to make him happy. It’s just one night anyway.”

Making you take out that IUD before you're ready; before you can finish your education or start your career. That you'll do it if you really love me. No, I dont want to get you pregnant darling. It's just that the strings get in the way of hitting your cervix. I'll use condoms, pinky-promise.

Ghidorah: What's in the bag?

Godzilla: Oh nothing, a little something I was going to wear after our date, but since we're no longer going.

Godzilla: Suffer.

The ‘my choice’ movement is exactly that - your choice. You can reject shaving because you think it’s a long-ingrained practice of the patriarchy, or you can continue to do so because you find having hair on your body uncomfortable. You can cover your face in makeup or you can walk out barefaced - that’s the whole point. It’s accepting what you want to do and accepting what the people around you want to do, but within the guidelines that your choice isn’t negatively impacting the people around you, with hateful speech or actions.

It’s not a ‘greta gerwig taylor swift-sofia coppola- white romance booktok author brand of liberal-feminism’ - none of ‘my choice’ is limited by race, social standing or even gender. No matter how much people take advantage of it, twisting it’s statements to make then non inclusive, the purpose is to be empowering, giving choice back to us. It’s a bit egotistic to say that everyone who thinks this way is a ‘brain-dead gen z or millennial’.
