… I’m unhappy. To put it simply. Life is about making decisions and it can be a struggle for those of us who cannot make a final choice. I mean gosh you would think I could make one single itty bitty choice for once. Just say “Yes” Stop hesitating. Figure out what I want and don’t take what I can get.

Who have I become?

My entire life I've been told that I can do anything. Now, I truly believe I can.
