Decisions.

Be careful of others; people can tear you down just as quickly as they can lift you up. As childish as it is to choose big life decisions based on others' opinion, it is something that we often do. Some people just want to yield to their rebellious voice inside. There's something about going the way that everyone expected you to that drives people insane. I can understand that. Feeling like you have allowed people who hardly know you to speak on your future can leave an impression of weakness. It can make you feel as if you gave in to the pressure of their opinion. In a perfect world, people outside of your loved ones would attend to their own business and keep their comments to themselves. But, in reality, we must learn to isolate the non-sense from the necessary and listen only to the voices that matter. We can't forget to listen to our own voice - after all it is YOUR life to come. We have to use our discernment to filter through the voices. It's not like there aren't good voices to hear, we just need to take the time to discriminate against the negatives.
