When's your birthday?

July 8th

Like, that's not even close to the day I was actually born, but when I got to university someone asked and because I don't celebrate my birthday I forgot and said the wrong date, and after a while it felt too embarrassing to correct them

Idgaf what Sarah thinks, so go ahead tell her, and while you're at it, tell her the whole faewild knows her "cursed amulet" is actually a flea collar

love how "I can do any night apart from the 15th" implies that you either a) are a werewolf b) have plans to have sex with a werewolf, specifically in the wolf form (or you have a date planned, i don't know your situation) c) all of the above d) are a witch and the full moon night is the girl's night/mandatory coven meeting

You ever played the game "two truths and a lie"?

[would-you-punt-them]

Huh? Wait, you made your choice already? That was fast.

Sorry, I just... I don't know, I kinda assumed you'd spend a little longer mulling it over, that's all.

Ah, you're probably right; it's best not to overthink these things. Sometimes you just need to trust your gut, not your head, and simply make a quick decision. Plus, it's always fun to smack poll buttons, yeah?

...Although, I guess I can't help but wonder what the world would be like if everyone really was 100% confident in all of their decisions, no matter what. Like, don't get me wrong, sometimes I wish I was a little more decisive. There are moments where I felt like I lacked agency, and regretted it. A little more confidence or would've saved me a lot of heartache. But if people were always self-assured or impulsive, never questioning themselves... well, doesn't that mindset seem kinda dangerous? What would happen...? Isn't a little doubt healthy every once in a while?

Oh, don't mind me, I was just thinking out loud. Forget I said anything.

...

...Look, don't take this the wrong way, but... are you sure you made the right call? Really, really sure?

I mean, this is a big decision. Like, yeah, it's just a inconsequential Tumblr poll, but still, doesn't it also feel at least a little bit like your answer is a concrete reflection of your values? What you pick says a little something about you, and once you make that choice, you can't exactly take it back. So, I wouldn't judge you for second-guessing yourself.

Well, I guess if you've locked in your vote already, it doesn't matter anyway. It's too late to change it now...

...Hey, listen, I know this is bending the rules a little, but do you want a second chance to reconsider? I'm not trying to suggest you were wrong or anything; all I'm saying is, no one would blame you for wanting to take a little extra time to weigh up your options, even if it's just to be safe.

Obviously, it's up to you. If you're always 100% confident in every decision you make, that's absolutely fine, but I won't tell anyone if you want to consider all the possibilities.

Actually, I don't usually do this, but just this once, I'll give you a "See Results" option if you feel like sitting this one out, and let someone else take the reins. Take a minute to think about it, alright? After all... this decision is entirely on you.
