I’m about to answer my parents, but I start scrolling through social media again.

I’m about to answer my parents, but my hand goes to social media first. I put off replying while I look for a good sign.

Scenes

I start to answer my parents, then stop. — I start writing a reply to my parents’ request, then scroll through social media. If I see a good sign, it feels like I can answer.
The request is still there — My parents asked me to go with them this weekend. If I scroll without replying, the request is still there.
Someone else’s good news appears — When I see a friend’s good news or a horoscope post, I try to figure out whether it’s okay to answer now. Someone else’s sign can’t make my decision for me.
I write down the answer I want to give — Tonight, try writing just one sentence in your notes about what you’d like to tell your parents. You don’t have to send it. It can still show you which way you’re leaning.
My words before a good sign — If you keep looking for signs whenever you need to make a decision, I look at the request and your answer together. Today, start with one line in a note.
