Choose your hard

 from 3 am Thoughts

Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard.

Choose your hard.

Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard.

Choose your hard.

Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard.

Choose your hard.

Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard.

Choose your hard.

Life will never be easy. It will always be hard.

But we can choose our hard.

Pick wisely.

First time I have ever seen a "rebuttal" to something like this:

Marriage is hard. Staying in an unhappy marriage is harder.

Obesity is hard. Because it's stigmatized. Fit is not always accessible to everyone.

Being in debt is a complex socio-economic phenomenon related to privilege. It is not necessarily related to "discipline."

Communication is complex. Learning to communicate is a lifelong experience.

You don't always get to "pick your hard." And thinking you do is the epitome of privilege.
