your decision? - answers(Only do this is you are extremely lazy!) A impulsive decision I
made was choosing if I wanted to date Dylan Webber. I felt he was going to get mad at
me if I didn't answer right away, so I had said yes. Which ended up in a seven year
relationship. The consequences were that I had to deal with the feels whenever he had
his liver transplant in 2nd grade. If I had the decision to make all over again, I would
stay yes, but I would hope that he doesn't need another liver transplant, or any
transplant at that.
