To be OK with it. I am still working on that, but getting better. :)Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-52855582253788221632013-04-10T23:06:43.112-04:002013-04-10T23:06:43.112-04:00You don't know me, but I found the post a year...You don't know me, but I found the post a year ago on the Faces of ALI series. We are in the process of potentially making this "choice", at the age of 30, mostly for financial reasons (treatment and adoption are both expensive), but also for mental health reasons.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863855744814088537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-92155840794777017712013-04-10T21:33:25.146-04:002013-04-10T21:33:25.146-04:00I also like the idea of removing that pressure of ...I also like the idea of removing that pressure of having to feel the weight of every damn decision. I like the idea of accepting where you and honouring it, even if it wasn't your first, second, or 300th choice.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-85196426708632621502013-04-10T20:12:19.982-04:002013-04-10T20:12:19.982-04:00Making the decision right. I think that's wha...Making the decision right. I think that's what we're on the receiving end of when all those parents try to convince us their lives are superior, more fulfilled, and happier. <br /><br />Making the decision right for those of us who might not have even had a choice still applies. As I often say (and as you said), we do only have this life, so we need to make it the right one. That doesn't mean going off and achieving the most amazing things. It just means doing what feels right for us.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-68797330717624072332013-04-10T12:29:12.509-04:002013-04-10T12:29:12.509-04:00This is an incredibly powerful reminder that "...This is an incredibly powerful reminder that "choice" is a varied thing. In some moments of our lives, we get to make choices based on many options. For others, we're choosing from a more limited pool and often when the ideal option is no longer available to us. Does it mean that we are then doomed to unhappiness? I think more often than not, the answer is no. Still, assuming that everyone has the same access to options is liminal thinking and something we all need to consider.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.com
