tough. whichever way you go.

being a friend is a tough task

particularly when you find yourself
getting consulted about a life-altering decision

so you pinpoint what your friend desires,
you find the reasons why they would change horizons,
and you seek the motivation behind their chain of thought

...and you decide based on what choice suits their happiness

but what if it's contradictory?
what if it makes them happy but isn't the best long-term deal?
what if it is such a risk, and it may not pay off in the end?

do you still ask them to continue being unhappy everyday?
do you risk their future by putting their happiness first?
or do gamble on putting their interest first, and hope?

i tend to pick their everyday happiness. and hope.
and i do not know whether that is the right thing to do.
but i would rather do that, instead of leaving them with doubt

being a friend is a tough task indeed
