Our lives are ultimately a series of choices that are up to us. I wonder what compels us to choose the way we do. Professors always talk down on the psychodynamic model, yet how can we deny the notion that our past experiences form who we are today? I believe that every instance in one's life leads them to choose a certain path.
Something I have recently come to learn about myself is my fear of regret. I never knew that this fear would drive so many of the decisions I make. I used to think my pride called all the shots, but we have a new winner.

I was wrong, pride won this round. Or maybe that's giving myself too much credit.
