assignment 19—ceaseless choice—emanuelle sippy

The best advice I’ve ever gotten was “You make a choice and then you can make another choice.” As someone whose super indecisive and overthinks everything, this is something that resonates with me. It lessens some of the decision-making-gravity. When making a decision is cumbersome, which it kind of always is for me, I just remind myself of this. It’s temporary. I can always make another decision. There are going to be countless choices, so I’ll need to. Mostly, I trust this advice because I trust and love and admire the person who shared it with me, and she feels the same way about the person who shared it with her. When I was bogged down in the pros and cons of something, sending her message after message it was refreshing. She didn’t say “I feel you” or “That’s so tough” or “I’ve been there,” and this meant much more.
