A friend disclosed to me today that this upcoming weekend is a big one for him since he must decide on a situation that has life-changing effects for him and its impact on other people, regardless of what that decision may end up to be. My curiosity asked him if he was disposed one way or another, and the non-status quo option seems to be what's taking the upper hand right now. Still, he must brainstorm this further with the immediate person who will be affected by his decision.
He admits that he's nervous and I said that I'm nervous for him, which he responded to with a laugh. So far, I always know him as an optimist, tempered with realism and sensibility. I feel that this decision has a lot at stake, which he has to live with either way.
After he first told me about his inclination, I admit it gave me pause. When he left, all I could do was refer to a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon panel pinned nearby, where Calvin was making various facial expressions. I couldn't replicate any of those expressions but they reflect a range of emotions that befell me upon learning about what's forthcoming.
I will know, sooner or later, about his decision. By then, all I could do is be supportive.
