150 Entries for “optional”

  1. choosing was not optional. the opportunity to take money from the 7-11 cashier presented itself and josey took it like blinking, like her heart pumping, like to survive, to pay toward rent, buy a little food for her kids. that she was caught running undaunted 2 blocks down wasn’t optional either, but one of many results governed by the law of unintended consequences. still, for a few glorious moments, free will felt roaring and real.

  7. Don’t have to do it.

    What is wrong with western education that for so many people, you give them a word to free-associate on, and they just give you the definition?

    Maybe it’s a funciton of our brains, our need to categorize and classify things as soon as we see them, a basic outgrowth of fight or flight – is this something that’s going to eat me, or can I eat it?

  8. Optional, he said to me. I get to choose. Life or death, mundane foreverness, or the final climax of Earth. I must decide, as time is running out. I, Mercy Dawn Llowyn must decide, I must decide now.

  9. Ooh the power of choice! Which to choose..so many options. Opt in, opt out- it’s up to you! The thing about options is that you often only realise your mistake afterwards

  11. So many of the things I’m doing right now are optional. So why do I feel like they’re not? Maybe it’s because I know that if I don’t do these things I’ll be letting people down. ugh

  16. How many stuff is optional in life? Pretty much everything nowadays. The real basic needs are food and shelter. Everything else is optional: tv, computer, branded clothing, makeup, etc.

  17. As soon as she walked into the room she knew it had been a huge mistake. She had barely allowed Richard to convince her to accompany him… Now she wished she hadn’t. Everyone at the party was entirely naked. Never again would she accept an invitation bearing the slogan: “clothing optional”.

  18. Optional. Technically falling in love with you was optional but realistically I really did not have a say.

    Lauren
  19. Talent is optional.

    Being an art major was never so easy as it is now. You need not have experience, come one come all! Bring your pencils, you don’t need to know how to draw!

    All we ask is tuition.

  20. I looked at the sign, than back at my three year old son, who was bubbling with excitement. It amazes me that such dumb things can exhilarate the extremely young mind.
    Puppet Show.
    Bring Snacks, Drinks, and Socks

  21. Wow, that is totally a weird word to write about. Uh……well…..

    It was all optional, but why not take advantage of any opportunity? If Din could be immortal, than his sister’s life was just a small price, right? Then why was he shaking?

    Daniel
  22. Feeling the way I do right at this very moment is completely optional. All I have to do is forget, leave everything behind and go on with my life. But unfortunately for me, that’s not REALLY an option.

    Karin
  23. is it really optional for me to write this or am i choosing to do this of my own free will. i am not opting out of doing this – just it’s my first time and hard to think of anything really creative – it’s mainly about my ramblings in my little brain.

  24. ABCD multiple choice, you always are supposed to pick C. It’s the most common answer, and you can usually fake your way through anything pretty well by picking C. It’s the space between the lines, between the rain, the space where you’re momentarily free from getting a shit ton of water dumped all over your head.

  25. oh god oh god. optional to me means that you don’t have to do said optional thing. obivously… That’s pretty much the deffinition. But you know what? fuck you. Imma do it anyway, you cankerous whore!! Well, I’m running out of time. so I’ll see you in hell :)

  28. you don’t have to
    do it
    but your smoky eyes say
    do me
    slow, fast, hard, soft
    i lie here
    on groupie-stained cushions
    and worn leather
    tasting your makeup on
    my lips.

  29. Alle Möglichkeiten stehen dir offen.
    Du kannst wählen, wen und was du willst.
    Du stehst am Ende der Leitung, oder nenn’ es einfach den längeren Hebel.
    Du machst dir deine Hände nicht mehr schmutzig.
    Du lebst ja schließlich heute und nicht gestern!

  30. it was optional to chill with you
    it was optional to lay with you
    it was optional to leave you
    the options flew out the door when Juliet arrived
    we dont have that luxury any more
    you can opt in but you cant opt out no matter what that will always be you
