How to decide
Oh, hi friends!
When you’re faced with a hard decision, how do you decide what to do?
You can ask the advice of friends and family. They will have opinions.
You can make lists: pro/con lists, hypothetical scenarios, “feelings” you smoosh into bullet points, and so on.
You can pretend it's two months from today and the decision has already been made, and ask yourself, “So, how do I feel now?”
All of these get you a little closer to the next stage, but it’s equally — actually, even more — important to trust yourself.
You have ownership over your next move.
Take in opinions, but you own it.
So what feels right, even if it’s scary?
There. That’s your decision.
I enjoy this and also wish this for you.

Yes, This Is a Real Animal
Didn’t have a video or song or anything to recommend because I haven't really been in "consume" mode, so went looking for a “fierce animal” (literally, that's what I searched) and came across this guy and honestly, the photo and caption was exactly what I thought you might need to see on a Tuesday following a three-day weekend??
“On a fishing trip a few miles out to sea we were joined by a number of these magnificent Mollymawks, a very handsome and impressive bird with a fierce gaze and yellow beak. They followed us all day watching for bits of fish to be thrown overboard, when there would be a scuffle for the best bits.”
Maybe you’re scuffling for bits or wearing a fierce gaze or flying high today. Whatever the plan, go — do.
