Please dont take this as negative in anyway, it is great that people reach out for help and advice from others. Everyone needs an outlet, shoulder, someone or mylot! I think that if people would take a few to analyze what is going on in there life and do some soul searching they would find the answers to many of their questions. I myself am guility for looking to others first at times. And everyone needs to reach out and get some advice. Or maybe they just need an outside opinion, which is good alot of times, sometimes it is easier from the outside looking in to analyze a situation. I guess what I am trying to say, the answers to many of the questions lie within ones self. It just takes some time and digging around to find it. You can get all the advice and opinions you want but the only true answer to anything is in your heart! Happy mylotting! Keep posting. I do like to share some of my experiences and thoughts with all of you! And love to hear the advice and thoughts of other mylotters.

Ha, how about the friend that asks for your advice but shoots it down because he/she only wants you to reaffirm their own opinion? :D All kidding aside, I agree with you, and I might go so far as to say that being a good friend isn't about giving the answers or giving the best advice, sometimes it's just about being there and giving your support and showing you care. You're right--ultimately the decision is yours and yours alone, and isn't it funny that when we look back we often realize we knew the right answer all along? Sometimes we just didn't want to admit we knew the right answer, because it might have been an answer we didn't like? In the end, I know when I have a problem it's nice to get advice, but the friends I remember most and always talk to about my problems are simply the ones who say no matter what they'll support me and my decision, and just that they care about me and love me for who I am. And honestly, I've noticed that most often when my friends come to me for 'advice,' they really just want someone to listen.
