Are you sure? this statement of uncertainty.
Well, i guess this has been asked of of a couple of times already, whenever i want something to drink, to a life changing decision. I know that i am sure! But why do i have to pause and actually try to think again even for a few seconds if i am sure about something.
Do you have the same experiences as me or you are always confident of what you want?

I think you are very wise to question yourself. We can never be sure about life but we always have to make decisions regardless of our confidence in them. Have you ever read Descartes? His philosophy is about how all of our reality is questionable.
Some people who are so certain about things, like religion and history, just seem foolish sometimes.

There would always be times like these because in life we are faced with a variety of choices. Sometimes, picking your choice is far from easy because you'll have to take lots of things in consideration. What makes it extra harder is when you sometimes come up with your choice, you'll know that there won't be any turning back.
Choices are not but mere choices. These choices could be trivial but there are those which could sometimes initiate big changes in one's life.
"Are you sure? Really?" is commonly asked in our life in which the only thing sure is uncertainty. The answer on these questions are important for it affirms your choice and commits yourself to it even in the most uncertain situations.

I always stand on my decision once I made up my mind. People always I asked me back why I made such decision and they will trying to make rethink about it. But I always stick to it unless they can proposed me with some other better decision that will make me think again and change it. I hate that sentence actually. Because I hate to give an explanation that they might not understand and will asked me more about it then.

I used to be indecisive, but now I am not so sure.
SO my answer is.........maybe.
