Choices

(text-size:2)[(text-colour:#e64980)[You are sitting on the back of the train.]] You've been here for awhile, readjusting on the blue seats again to avoid getting too stiff. The train isn't packed but there's still plenty of people, shuffling on and off with each passing stop. (text-colour:#15aabf)[Do you know where you're going?] [[I have no idea]] [[Trying to get to my stop, obviously]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[How will you know when to get off?] [[I don't know]] [[I'll feel when I'm at the right stop]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[What stop is that?] [[I don't know]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[What's your plan? The train will reach the end of the line eventually, you can't stay on here forever, even if you wanted to.] [[There's still plenty of stops ahead, I can figure it out later]] [[I'm ok with hitting the end of the line]] [[I don't know. I wish I did]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[It feels a little silly to say that you'll just "know" when you've been unable to decide for this long, but you go with it anyway. Do any of the stops call out to you?] [[Yes, this one]] [[No->I am sure]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[Are you sure? You don't want more agency over where you go?] [[I am sure]] [[Maybe not actually]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[But with each stop of the train you can feel the end growing closer. You're losing options with every stop. If you keep going like this your only choice will be wherever the train spits you out at the end. Aren't you concerned about where you'll end up?] [[I'll be fine wherever ->end1]] [[I am]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[You could always just pick soemthing. Anything. Make a choice] [[Fine, I'll make a random choice ->Maybe not actually]] [[I'll just stay where I am for now ->I am sure]]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[Isn't it better to just pick something then? Anything?] [[Is it really? ->I am sure]] [[I need to decide for myself ->Maybe not actually]]

You think about your own words. You really will be fine wherever. Finally tried of waiting you decide to just get off at the next stop, not bothering to pay attention when the speaker announces where it is. You step off and walk outside of the station, greeted by a pleasent breeze and the sounds of people milling around you. You take a deep breath before joining them, wandering around and enjoying where you ended up. (text-colour:#e64980)[Maybe you didn't need to know exactly where you were going.]

(text-colour:#15aabf)[You stay on the train, watching through the window, looking at each stop to see if one calls out to you but none of them do.] You do inevidably hit the end of the line. What will you do now. [[Get on the train going in the opposite direction]] [[Get off at this stop ->end1 vers2]]

You step off the train you've been on for so long. The station is somewhat empty this far along. You briefly reconsider just leaving but you feel like you can't yet. You're not even sure why but the feeling is unshakable. Instead you stick with your original decision, walking across the platform, standing in wait for the train going back in the direction you came from, (text-colour:#e64980)[hanging in the limbo of your own indecision.]

You step off and walk outside of the station, greeted by a pleasent breeze and the sounds of people milling around you. You take a deep breath before joining them, wandering around and enjoying where you ended up. (text-colour:#e64980)[Maybe your indecision can result in something nice sometimes.]

You feel a sudden need to make a decision ''now''. You pick a random stop that sounds good enough and get off at it. You step off and walk outside of the station, greeted by a pleasent breeze and the sounds of people milling around you. You take a deep breath before joining them, wandering around and enjoying where you ended up. (text-colour:#e64980)[Maybe you didn't need to know exactly where you were going.]

When the train pulls up to the next stop, you feel like you get a good enough vibe from it. It's not like this decision is something that'll ruin your life or anything, may as well be a bit impulsive about it. You step off and walk outside of the station, greeted by a pleasent breeze and the sounds of people milling around you. You take a deep breath before joining them, wandering around and enjoying where you ended up. (text-colour:#e64980)[Maybe you just need to pick something that feels good enough sometimes.]
