Hmm good subject but what about maybe a gray area where a place in one's Life and circumstances kind of "forces the hand" (is that a poker phrase?) and dictates your path aka decision?
@@AlchemyOfInteraction I started college eager to be a Journalist. I didn't know what kind really I was just happy to be a college student working on my degree in Journalism. My parents had divorced when I was an 11th grader in HS. My Mom kept the house which I lived in while attending college and working a part time job. After 2 years she wanted out of the house and sold it. I couldn't afford my own place so I moved in with my Grandmother. I was looking for an apartment My Mom moved into a 2 bedroom condo for her and my younger brother. I still tried to go to school living with my Grandmother and working a full time job. But Life happens and I left school. I ended up moving in with my younger cousin who only wanted someone so she could save on rent. The story gets better after that. I just wanted to show that some decisions are forced on a person. I tried to go back to school two times. But like you said that other option is "closed off". It just didn't feel right. But I have done new things and traveled so much and even now I am working on new creative projects.
@@qwertyu30 I’m still confused at what point you were given a decision to make, though. If you had no choice but to find new housing, that wasn’t your decision. Deciding to find a new place to live would have been the decision- to find a new place or to not. Both have consequences.
@@qwertyu30 “you can’t live here anymore” wasn’t your decision, but “i can find somewhere else to live or i can not live anywhere” was your decision to make.

@@qwertyu30 is it a decision if you’re forced to choose from one option? 🤔

Bottom line is some decisions seem to be forced. You haven't experienced this?
