HI, I’m Griselda and I am a senior in high school. I’m having problem choosing between my boyfriend who I have been with for three years and going to a two year college, then to a two year university, or going to a four year university that is about an hour away and being far from him. It’s just been hard, because even though I am young, I do feel that he and I have great potential to go far. And yet, I am afraid that the distance will separate us. As much as I want to sit here and make myself believe that everything is gonna perfectly work out, I have to admit to myself that we might become distant. I mean with school, work, friends, etc. it is going to get difficult. And its not like we can expect everything to have a cherry on top, so much can happen in the first two years after high school! I completely understand all you say about taking a jump into the unknown, the only problem is that I still can’t choose, and it’s become so stressful and hard on me. I only have a month to decide, but I want to know that I am making the right decision. Any advice I can receive would be very appreciated. Thank you.

I’m single at the moment and often close my eyes, hoping that somebody will make some of my decisions for me. However, it never seems to happen as when I open my eyes again, the options are still there staring at me.

Sometimes I feel tired of being an adult and wish I could turn back time and become that innocent child again. I am at a point in my life, where sometime soon I have to make some big decisions before it is too late. This past two years has taught me three things: 1) To value “today”, 2) Not to regret “yesterday” and 3) Not to worry about “tomorrow”. However, putting these theories into practice is sometimes a challenge in itself.

Robin, one of the many many many things I adore about you is your ability to put thoughts and feelings into words. The ability to step outside and look in. You are so inspirational. I wish I could bottle up your muses and carry them around in my pocket, to open them in a time of need.

Big hugs from a friend

“Our souls and spirits are like rivers that must flow forever forward.” This was such a great statement I had to write it in a book I just purchased called “The Power of Positive Thinking” By: Norman Vincent Peale That sentence just jumped at me.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Lately I’ve trapped myself into being afraid to make any decisions at all for fear of making a bad one (there have been so many of those) and I do find myself stagnated…which leads to more decision anxiety…and so the cycle and spiral continues.

A family is helping me with difficult decisions. They aren’t making a decision for me, but they is showing their point of view to the matter. Thanks to that I can look on cause more objectively. Of greeting from Warsaw in Poland (eastern Europe)

ROBIN,
another nail is spiked into the brain to keep all from forgetting their true purpose–
your analogy of life as the river is pertinent and apt–the only difference is that the river just flows and as humans we tend to get stuck in the how, the why and if we really “feel” like it.
there is always the stage where we have to take that leap or is it that circumstances decide to push us anyway!
when we are able to become less attached to the illusion of what is and discover the authenticity of who we really are then the decisions that arise are just a change in direction and nothing more and nothing less.
but then perfection is never perfect….
take care

Oh, my god, who are you, my horoscope?? I’m standing on a bit of a precipice myself lately, wondering about jumping and what might happen if I did. This is very timely. How ever did you know?

As for brevity, I’m finding that a challenge here in June–there’s so much to talk about going on in the garden every day! Just photos today, though.

Your post has inspired me in many ways. Not only am I bolstered to satisfy my appetite for joy and experience, but also to communicate about them in tiny morsels so that each bite is exceedingly delicious.

“Our souls and spirits are like rivers that must flow forever forward.” No truer words have been spoken. This is where I am now. This is where I am going….

Love, Nards
