libra

from now on, i would really like to think very carefully about the decisions i make before i make them, and attempt to only choose options which i'm sure i can commit to, at least at the time. surely, i will make poor choices and need to extricate myself later from some situations that i was able to commit to, but i will attempt to only choose things which i feel very able to commit to.

i'm not sure what to do about it when i don't know if i can commit to something, though. i'd like to say 'i don't know' honestly, but i'd also like to be able to say 'no' when the indecision has gone on too long for all parties. i don't like the idea of saying no often though, and would rather be able to default to yes, as a more positive eggers-like option. but then i'll be back in the situation of having agreed to things which i was not sure i could commit to, thus causing myself and others a lot of pain.

any thoughts on this matter would be welcome.
