Waffling


I am absolutely blown away by the amount of choice I have in my day.

Whether that be choosing between ribs or some meatless option (I've decided to begin reducing my meat intake considering how bad raising livestock is for the environment, but more on that later), what shirt to wear, Jacob or Edward (jk!), or what friends to hang out with, the amount of opportunities I have is staggering. My decision process typically involves a couple quick seconds of instinct and gut reaction. But what about those big decisions?

Well lately I've had a big decision to make lately (where to go to graduate school). And this one is a doozy because both opportunities are good. I've struggled dealing without a clear choice. And I've struggled with trying to decide between my pros and cons list and the tugboat riding my wave of feelings.

Amidst all this WAFFLING though, I feel myself losing sight of how #blessed I am. While decisions may be hard, I think it's pretty amazing that we encounter regularly chances and experiences that require commitment, excitement, and yesses. And looking back at all the 50/50 coin flips, gut reactions, and thought-out blueprints, it's truly marvelous how I've gotten to met the people I've been touched by and ultimately grown into the person I am. 

So what choices have truly affected you? And what decisions are you currently WAFFLING on?
