The Big Decisions

getting married
having a child
taking a new job
moving to a new city
deciding what is worth arguing about
choosing to keep your
cool in spite of it

realizing compromise is necessary,
making them and being happy,
growing up.
buying a new car or keeping an old one
even though everyone makes fun of you.
being a friend when it's not convenient,
standing up for what you believe
even though you're tired

choosing to be you
and standing by it
while loving those
around you.
