Throughout all of these experiences, at the time you were going through them, didn't it truly feel in your "heart of hearts" that you were making choices?Depends on which side of the equation. When I lost my job, it was actually a set of circumstances that triggered the next. I had no choice in triggering the event because it was someone else who intruded on my conversation. It was me being myself (as I'm awful with people, esp back then at age 18) then they intruded in my conversation and after that I reacted in the way that I would react at that time. After this event, I tried getting another job however each experience led me to one where I was ostracized. It wasn't until I moved back home where I made a conscious decision that I was done w/ the system. That was the most "choice" I've ever got to make and even THAT choice led to where I am today.
