“‘You get to choose what happens next.’

Marked for Life reminded me of this universal truth, which can easily get buried in the chaos of daily life. It’s an easy concept to forget especially when you’re in survival mode, navigating myriad responsibilities and concerns around family, career, finances, the pandemic, inflation, war, politics,  climate change, and more every day.”
