You know how you have to be an adult sometimes and make decisions... and not just the little ones like "what to make for dinner" or "is so-and-so going to do dance or gymnastics this year"... but the big ones like "future" type stuff.
My word of advice is to make the decisions you face, big or small, based on YOU, YOUR FAMILY and GOD. That's it. When push comes to shove, your family matters more than anything, and obviously you have to think about yourself sometimes. Pray about them... take your time... and don't move too quickly when the decision is one that requires change and commitment.
But one thing I would recommend is to NEVER let a friend influence a decision that does not have to do with them. I mean, all decisions, both big and small, may touch other's lives... but if a change comes and ANYTHING changes or is disrupted in your friendships... I'm telling you right now... that friend was never a friend to begin with. Friends are there for you no matter the situation. Even if the decision affects them directly. Friends should be the ones to hug you and tell you its going to be ok, regardless of the outcome, and let you know you can count on them to walk beside you until the dust settles and there is a new decision to make!
I take comfort and am so thankful that I have those kind of friends in my life. And I have some that are not these kind of friends. And the older I get... the move obvious the different gets. If I call you a "FRIEND", it means I love you unconditionally. It means... I would drop all I am doing to help you in a pinch, even if the crisis at hand isn't a real crisis in the long-run... I will listen as you go through tough times and even lend you a shoulder to cry and snot on, and I'll probably call you out on the snot later when we look back and reflect... I'd buy you your first shot or drink at the bar to celebrate with you for whatever reason we need to celebrate... and I support you in your life and pray that I am a part of it forever. Forever friends are the only FRIENDS that exist.
