[Something brewed from Photoshop CS4. It's actually 1:30 in the morning and my creative juices are high. Sleep is elusive for now and I think it won't be disturbing until later.]I'm pretty sure, we've all reached the point when we had to choose between holding on to something/someone and letting it go. Both options present the risk of getting hurt, having your heart broken or giving up the future you want.
Decision-making is a crucial and agonizing process, based on experience. Given our free will, it will and shall always end in us. But once you settled on a preference, everything follows suit.
Just an advice:
Think things thoroughly, weigh all options and listen to both your heart and mind.
