there is nothing more comprehensively exhilirating then when you discover a decision you toiled over forever was the right one.
that exact moment when you discover you have zero regret.
its the best moment, the best feeling.
not just because regret is possibly one of these most stressful things you can experience emotionally but because you learn that your instincts are better than you give them credit for and therefore can trust them more wholeheartedly, THUS diminishing the time you spend playing "what if."
case in point:
the other day i headed to class, spent two hours listening to my anatomy professor ramble on about the functions and importance of white blood cells within the human body, then retreated to the book store to visit a friend who works there...and somewhere in the midst of all this i lost my keys.
not just a key, or a key chain.
my house, room and car key-none of which i have copies for (until the net day when i made 3 of each, overcautious? maybe)
but i digress.
after realizing i had lost my keys i felt ill and struck with the grief and belief that no one would care so much as to return them. but i checked with security and surely enough someone took time out of their schedule and possibly enough, busy day, to walk across campus to bring them to the lost in found. and heres where i validate my point: when deciding which school to go to last year i travelled to Laurier for homecoming and was overly pleased with the people i met and the general atmosphere and had decided i wanted to go to school somewhere that i interated with like minded, intelligent and fun loving people on a daily basis and i now know for certain that i made the right decision and wasnt misled. im not saying had this situation presented itself at another school my keys would have been stolen but its nice to know the people here care. it says a lot about the overall ideologies of the students at Laurier.
in that moment that i got my keys back, i realized how much of a good decision i made. i know it sounds juvenile and small scale, but sometimes thats when things are best put into perspective. i now feel i will opt to trust my instincts more actively.
sometimes its just the little things that lead to the larger, more important things;
the big picture.
