Words of a counselor.

I remember, a counselor I interviewed told me something like this:

The thing about some of the clients I met was they didn't realize they have the right to make choices. Whether or not if it they think they have no way to go or things just somehow led them to their current situation - they are already making choices without realizing them. Being a counselor doesn't mean you're being nice to the clients all the time, because you need to guide them and make them feel bad sometimes to actually help them learn about themselves. One of the biggest challenge is to "tell" them that they can decide and choose. Yet surprisingly, there were many clients who were scared of choices and they didn't know what to do! They would actually want to get answers from me, and said things like: "Don't tell me what to choose, tell me what to do!" I am truly very shocked, because all of the while they moan over not being able to choose; but once they know they get to choose, they were afraid of choosing!

Now, I can say that I very much am empathizing the clients' situation at this very moment. The thing with choices, it just tears you apart - because you just lack of courage and judgment.

What are you afraid of, really?

Hardships will only make you stronger!
You've been living on a bed of roses for the longest time you've been living. It's already the time to learn what real hardships are, and to nourish a better you.

Like what JaeSuk would say to JangHyuk's longingness to crack up gags:
"The timing is now!"
