Sometimes I thought I've made up my mind on something.
But most of the time I was mistaken.
The clarity I had moments before,
Becomes a doubt clearer than my initial confidence.
Was that confidence
or mere following of my heart?
or mere trusting of my a-moment-instinct.
For a moment, I would feel comfortable at my decision or thoughts
The next sec, I got all pessimistic about my decision/thoughts
Let me give a simple example. You juz bought something for yourself. Before your purchase, you made a mental checklist on all the good things about it. So, you decided to go for it. But after your purchase, you suddenly said to yourself.."why did I buy it? It's this and that (some negative points)." Post-purchase dissonance they call it. So, is there a
post decision-already-made dissonance?
Don't ask my why I am talking in riddles cos I dunno if whatever I just said makes sense
Cos I cant seem to make sense out of every thought in my mind right now :p
