The Design
CHOOSE LIFE – Rewritten Monologue
This design is a modern reworking of one of the most iconic spoken word pieces in pop culture — the CHOOSE LIFE monologue from the film Trainspotting. Where the original raged against conformity and hollow consumerism, this version reclaims the phrase to highlight personal survival, emotional resilience, and the power of simply staying alive when life gets heavy.
Original Trainspotting Monologue (edited for content):
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f***ing big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers… Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of f***ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f*** you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f***ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all… Choose your future. Choose life.
This design flips that monologue on its head — not to reject life, but to own it. The new version speaks to anyone who’s just trying to get through the day, who values honesty over appearances, and who’s learning to choose themselves, moment by moment.
Modern Monologue (front print):
Choose life. Choose more time. Choose getting out of bed when it feels impossible. Choose facing the day even when you’re running on empty. Choose real mates over fake smiles. Choose saying “I’m not okay” without shame. Choose quiet when your head’s too loud. Choose movement, food, water, and rest. Choose tired eyes, messy thoughts, and still showing up. Choose the bad days you survive and the good days you build. Choose every small win. Choose the slow rebuild. Choose your story, not your shame. Choose honesty. Speak up even when your voice shakes. Choose support, space, journaling, even just getting through today. Choose what works for you. Smash the stigma, not yourself. Choose healing. Choose being here tomorrow, even when today’s a fight. Choose you. Choose your future. Choose Life.
This is for anyone choosing life on their terms. Every time you wear it, you’re telling the world: I’m still here. I’m still choosing.
Wear the message. Fuel the mission.
