Decisions.

Sometimes decisions are very hard to make.

You could be forced into a decision that you don't want, you could make the decision that feels right because you don't know what else to do, you could make a decision that is right but hurts you in the process, and you could make a decision that's right but hurts someone else.

It's tough having to put other factors before what you truly want- to think about the greater good or the bigger picture knowing the consequences that will come from this decision. But it's easier to make them when you focus on what's right about the decision; put the logic before the emotions.

It hurts especially when your head is telling you one thing but your heart is telling you another. Some will say "listen to your heart", some will say "listen to your brain", others will say "listen to your gut". But sometimes it's not that simple- grit, determination, will, and motivation sometimes just isn't enough. Sometimes you have to think outside of your heart, outside of your feelings, outside of what feels right and what actually is right.

And sometimes you'll make that decision thinking it is right only to find out that it isn't but that's completely okay. We are human and we make mistakes. Sometimes you'll make a decision based on your gut and it'll actually turn out to be the right decision. Sometimes you'll make a decision based on your heart and you'll do the work to make it the right decision.

But sometimes that doesn't happen. Sometimes the right decision is the one that hurts. Sometimes it hurts you, sometimes it won't be what you want, sometimes it will be really hard to make, but sometimes it will be the best thing you can do in that moment.

Maybe one day it will change, things will get better, and you can unmake that decision and actually follow your feelings. But maybe it won't. Maybe it's for the greater good.
