text: New York Times explains, "74% of young adults who go to seek advice from someone who has been through the situation says it helps them see why they chose what they went with. Even though this may not work for all situations, it can certainly help in some ways, even if it's not huge." This is a way of telling yourself that even if you didn't go with that persons advice, at least you saw it through and got a better look at all of the options closely.
