You have an important choice to make today. You can either expend all your energy trying to avoid any and all conflict, or you can have fun debating people whose thoughts and feelings differ from yours. Choose the latter, and you will feel empowered. Why fear hearing something you don’t agree with? Instead, step up and listen to what naysayers actually have to say. Listen to their reasoning. You will either be convinced or you will have a blast pointing out the gaping holes in their logic.

If you’re moving beyond mere friendship with someone, try taking it to another level. That doesn’t mean heavy-duty commitment — maybe this new pairing just needs more levity and fun.

Overthinking the situation could lead you and your partner to become unnecessarily confused. There’s no need to rush into a decision now. A few more key pieces of information are still making their way toward you.

You’re not alone. If you’re doing some soul searching, the entire world is doing it right along with you. Throw in learning from your mistakes, and you’re doing some valuable research.
