Honestly, I don’t consider myself a decision maker. I often overthink and hesitate a lot. I mean, I choose to err on suicide precautions. Now let me tell you about a difficult decision that I made and had a good resource recently. It was about 3 months ago. I wonder if I should leave the graph or not. The reason why I hesitate is that the graph gave me many opportunities to challenge myself as well as a good relationship. But now I’m a senior student and have become busier. If I still were a member of this graph besides study, I would have to participate in many graph activities. This made me overload. Then I decided to leave the graph and put my focus on my studies. It was not that I cut myself loose from them, but I did visit them less frequently. I felt quite sad, but I knew it was the right decision for my future. I had to prioritize my academic work, especially in my final year. After my rest started to improve and I felt less stressed, I also had more time for myself to relax and recharge. Looking back, I’m glad I made a difficult decision. It means importance of prioritizing and making sacrifices for my goals. And who knows, maybe after I graduate, I will have more time to reconnect and participate again.

Honestly, I don't consider myself a decision maker. I often overthink and hesitate a lot. I choose to err on the side of caution. Now let me tell you about a difficult decision that I made recently. It was about three months ago. I wondered if I should leave the group or not. The reason I hesitated is that the group provided me with many opportunities to challenge myself as well as a good relationship. But now I'm a senior student and have become busier. If I were still a member of this group alongside my studies, I would have to participate in many group activities. This made me feel overloaded. Then I decided to leave the group and focus on my studies. It was not that I cut myself off from them, but I did visit them less frequently. I felt quite sad, but I knew it was the right decision for my future. I had to prioritize my academic work, especially in my final year. After my stress started to improve and I felt less stressed, I also had more time for myself to relax and recharge. Looking back, I'm glad I made that difficult decision. It highlights the importance of prioritizing and making sacrifices for my goals. And who knows, maybe after I graduate, I will have more time to reconnect and participate again.
