I will say this much- it does not become easier, trying to choose what it is you will do for yourself. But provided you remember that you do this for yourself and you make these choices under your own power, rather than what might be for those you left behind or those you might meet? I will not say you cannot make a poor choice, for I have made many. But it is easier to live without regret when you act under your own power, without the weight of others dragging you one way or another.

Think of one, small thing you want. Not a person, not a concept, not a path. Something you can hold in your hand. When you have that- think of whether or not you could have that thing were you to return to your Clan.
