Decisions, decisions

My name is Megan and I have a hard time making decisions. Haaaaaard. I have never been good at it. It stresses me out. Even little decisions are very difficult for me to make.

I have a hard time deciding what to order when we go out to eat, because what if something else might taste better? What if I order something nasty?

Same thing with ordering ice cream, slushees, or trying new recipes. The fear of what "might" happen just stresses me out. And don't get me started on picking paint colors or clothes, or choosing which digital camera to buy.

I like to think that I study all sides of an issue and research a product very well before I decide on it or buy it. I try and do my homework and then make the best choice. But it kills me to think I just might be making the wrong decision. I guess I'm afraid of having deciders remorse, if there is such a thing.

I've tried to accept that my lack of decision-making skills is just part of who I am. And I keep thinking that after making a lot of decisions, the whole process will just come naturally to me. But I'm nearing the 30 year mark (yikes!) and I'm not there yet. I think I will fret about decisions no matter how old I get.

So this whole picking a President thing is really throwing me for a loop. I wish I could see the end from the beginning. I wish I knew what each candidate would actually do once they're in office. I wish I knew how their choices would actually affect our country. I wish I knew that they would serve with honesty and integrity. I wish I could guarantee that their being the Commander in Chief would leave our nation better-off in the next 4 years. I'm having a really hard time making a decision because I don't totally agree with either candidate. I don't feel comfortable voting for either one. Like I've heard many times, it's like trying to choose the lesser of two evils. But what if I don't want evil at all?

I am glad for the opportunity to vote. And although I live in a Republican state and my vote won't really matter in the end, it's still a pretty big decision to make. It's not like I'm choosing that chicken sounds better to me today than steak. I'm voting for someone who will hold the decisions of our country in his hands. That is a weighty decision. There are now only 6 more days to decide. Oh, the pressure!

And if you still haven't decided. Here are some websites I found that show how your views match up to those of the Presidential candidates:
