Scarlett Letters

Sometimes, you make a decision for all the right reasons, and even though you believe you were being smart, it still hurts, it's still sad, and you still feel bad about it. I made a decision that almost everyone I consulted with supported. It seemed like the smart thing to do. But every decision has consequences and the consequences I'm living with right now just . . . well, they suck. I knew they would come and I can't change my decision because it involves other people whom I can not and do not wish to control. But the decision makes me sad, among other feelings, and some nights it's harder to take than others. Tonight, it's really hard.
