text: Sometimes, we have to make tough decisions and there are a myriad of right and wrong answers. In those circumstances, turning to a family member or friend to hear their opinion is refreshing and most importantly reassuring. When faced with a decision like choosing what cereal to eat for breakfast, we don't think twice about it or consult anyone else but ourselves. This is because it is a simple decision that requires simple thinking. However, when faced with a tougher decision like deciding what college your going to, a decision that could change your life, it is too stressful for most people to fathom on their own. In situations like that, talking to family members and friends about the decision you have to make and hearing their opinion, is reassuring and calming. This is because it opens your eyes to all the possibilities and outcomes of that decision.
