For the person who's afraid to leap

How You Know You're An Indecisive Person
Sayur Wortel

To the person who can't make up their mind, there comes a point in our lives where we hit a crossing. The things we thought were mediocre task come around again and you begin to notice they were actually stairs to success.

Sometimes it is a part of life, a new transition you are meant to take. Other times it might be a serious of decisions that have led you to this point. Either way the same feeling is always there. The empty pit in your stomach and sweaty palms. You begin to question when and how you got yourself into this situation. For any indecisive person making a decision is one of the most grueling processes of one's life.

Most people who hate change usually put it off until the last minute. Then when the deciding hour comes it becomes a war between your heart and mind. What usually happens, especially when making a big decision, the heart and mind have two different answers. The heart says, "This will make you happy." But your mind interferes to say, "This is the more logical decision." That is when a decision has to be made on whether to follow one's heart or to follow one's mind. As a child we are often told to pray about it and the answer will come but in those hours it feels as if God's message is stuck in Austin traffic. So in the mean time you just wait...... No you don't. You actually subdue yourself to the downward spiral you think your life is going in because you can't make a decision.

At some point you decide to make a pro and con list. While you do that it seems like both lists contradict the other. As a indecisive person you decide that by some way your list has been compromised and decide to chuck the worthless wad in the garbage. Then you start to do the worst thing you could possibly do, ask for advice.

People usually say this is good but that's a load of crap. Each person has an opinion and the more people you ask the more responses you get. Each person will tell you their pick and their reasoning behind it and you'll realize you're screwed. That's because as an indecisive person not only do you have to make a decision, now. But now you have to decide on which people's advice you should actually take to solve the decision you already can't solve. At this point you are probably so overwhelmed that you just take a nap, you deserve a nap. Then you wake up and start to weigh them again. Suddenly it just becomes clear as if your decision was always staring you square in the eyes. That's when you know you've found a decision that is best for you.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
