Dilemmas.

What is a dilemma? If you look it up in the dictionary it will probably say that a dilemma is a situation requiring a choice between equally undesirable alternatives. I think everyone has had a dilemma before. I also did. You're in a situation where you can choose between a few things. Let's say you can choose between 2 things: the smart thing to do or the thing you've been wanting to do for a long time. 'Cause that's what it's like in most cases. In other words you have to choose between doing what your brains tell you to do or following your heart.
Everywhere it's been told that you need to follow your heart, follow your instincts. But what if that brings very much trouble afterwards? What if your whole life gets even harder? What if everything would get even more complicated if you'd do what your heart tells you to do? Would you still follow your instincts? I think I wouldn't. I think I would do what my brain tells me I need to do and get over the fact that I won't get what I was longing for, for so long.
But the thing is that we don't know that from the start. It's like life wants us to make the wrong choice so it can punish us. So it can make us feel bad about ourselves. Maybe that's why I'm as insecure as I am. It's like life lets us make the decision first and afterwards let us know we chose wrong, whether we chose to do the smart thing or the thing our hearts told us to do. No matter what, we chose the wrong thing. 'Cause for some reason, to me, that's what it always seems like. It's like when you choose to do the smart thing, life gets boring, so you don't want to make that mistake again. But when you do what your heart wants you to do, you'll get in more trouble. Everything in your life gets worse and more complicated. And that's not the way you want life to be either.

So what do you do when you're in a dilemma? Would you go for the safe&smart,but boring thing the brain wants you to do, or the risky&dangerous, fun thing your hearts wants to let you do.
