When I say I am considering various options, be it for housing or other choices in life, people often assume that because I’m considering option “X”, I have already decided option “X” it ill be.

The thing is when I’m undecided, I am undecided. If I dwell on an idea for a longer period of time, then I’m more like to choose that option, because I find that option more interesting and worthwhile. Often my earliest notions end up being the best option that I choose to go with, but that is not necessarily true. I like to take my time, evaluate all the facts and think carefully what I value most, even if it’s different from what you think is important.
