decisions decisions decisions.

Today Chelsea Barney and I went to BYU to learn more about their art department.
And let me tell you, I was overwhelmed.
Take this class, get into the program, 70% of graduates get jobs, oh and did I mention that that one class that you HAVE to take is only offered in the fall?
I came home and talked to the mother about it.
We were talking about how I have been thinking and praying about where to go for a very long time and you know what?
She said something.
"Maybe it doesn't matter where you go".
Instant calmness.
I think she is right.
Maybe I am going to end up with the same skills and the same job no matter where I graduate.
It is embarrassing that I never thought of that.

I got this book in London- at the Tate Modern museum.
I'm thinking it was one of my best purchases.

Decisions
Decisions
Decisions.

When you look back there will be things you will regret.
You made the wrong decision.
Wrong.

You made the right decision.
Life is about decisions.

1. Am I going to have the practical car or the fast car?
2. Shall I go to college or get a job?
3. Will I have wine, beer or water soda, juice or water?

Whatever decision you make is the only one you could make.
Otherwise you would make a different one.
Everything we do we choose.
So what is there to regret?
You are the person you choose to be.

Hi.
It's me. Holly.

I like to sew.
I like to sleep.
I like summer.
I am broke.
& I am scared of the future.
There you have it.
