Each of your opinions and thoughts matter to me, and every answer I receive will be taken into consideration.

I get so caught up in decision making that I prefer others to make the decisions for me.

When it comes to big decisions, I like to have a say. Just ask my husband. It’s the small and personal things that I like to ponder and get multiple opinions on.

Just yesterday, I called my mom for her help in deciding whether or not I should go buy coffee. She’s a coffee fan and convinced me almost immediately to just buy some. I knew she would, but I liked the satisfaction of hearing it.

I don’t why I am like this. I love hearing others unimportant opinions. I love feeling like I definitely made the right decision, because someone else happened to agree with me.

Now, I have a writing decision to make. One that is making me toss and turn at night. I know it will consume me if I don’t make a decision soon.

I have asked my parents and husband. I have even done a poll on Instagram. (The results were almost exactly 50/50.) Then, it hit me… Why not ask my writing friends?
