Choose a degree, and the mountain of debt you will carry your whole life.
Choose a career, try not to lose sleep over the inevitable human and environmental cost it exacts.
Choose a partner, try not to let the FOMO ruin it as you slowly settle in to tolerating each other for the long haul.
Choose travel, where you can either live a long time somewhere and learn it is as awful as anywhere else, or just pop through and exploit the local area for a brief thrill.
Choose experiences, sold to you by some smug twenty-something with a fat commission.
Choose sharing your stories, pictures and achievements with others, only to be secretly hated with envy.
Choose burning it all down to start again, this time will be better, only to find the same cycles repeat.
Choose to ignore the huge systemic problems in our global planet now, as it creaks at the seams with mewling new mouths, while the natural resources degrade, agricultural land shrinks and shrivels.
Choose perceived obscolescence and replacing your goods on a 6 month cycle.
Choose to throw away your tv, your bed, your clothes... no one would want them, and it is difficult to sell things these days.
Choose to have children, knowing the world they will inherit will be all but doomed.
Choose not to have children, and know that you will be cursed to feel a lack until you die.
Choose a medium sized dog...
...but first and foremost: CHOOSE LIFE!
