Recently I have had a conversation with my dad that has really made me stop and question a lot of things. I knew before the conversation even started; I wouldn’t like what he had to say to me. And I was ready to defend myself but as the conversation went on, he started to ask me some serious questions that I thought I had answers for but, they were not really answers. My so-called answers were really sounding like excuses. So, defense mode kicked in and let me tell you I was not happy, and I did not want to continue this exact conversation with my dad or anyone at this point. I wanted to answer his questions very badly, but I needed time to do that. Here I am still with no answers.
Now I have all these questions in my head with no solution or any idea where to start. A headache occurs from thinking so hard along with this invisible weight, pressure to quickly find the answers and tell my dad. But then I am thinking these are some serious questions and I bet if I ask anyone else these questions, they will more than likely be in a similar situation as I am right now. Either they have already been through this with their family or so much time has gone by from not finding answers that they no longer need to answer the questions because they have forged their path one way or another.
Things have been extra hard for me here in Delaware and when I have no one else to turn to, I go to my family. I think maybe there are some things your family shouldn’t know about until after you have made your decision on things. I know that is how I need to be with particular things involving my family. Not because I don’t want their opinion but because I most the time always do what my parents tell me to do. Sometimes you need to find your own answer and make your own decision. There are always more than 2 or 3 options. You just might need to do more research and that is a lesson I keep learning.
So, when you feel there is no other choice, I tell you this. There is always another choice. Breathe, do some research, Do Not Overthink, you are smart and capable to make a decision you feel is best. It doesn’t hurt to listen to those who may have had experience in a similar situation but at the end of the day it is you that must decide what to do for yourself.
P.S. Never forget to smile 🙂
