We're always surrounded by an exponential number of choices.

You can choose to listen or not.

Choose to be there or walk away.

To speak or to remain mum.

To help or stand by and watch. Or neither.

To communicate or shut up completely.

To keep in touch or not.

To care or be nonchalant.

To believe or suspect.

To hang in there or move on.

I seem to be doing both. And that's exhausting. 

I'm evidently bad with the choice-making. 

But not for long.
