Two invitations landed for the same Saturday. One is your friend's big birthday thing — the kind everyone will be talking about for weeks. The other is a day out with your cousins who you only see a few times a year, the ones you always end up having brilliant, ridiculous fun with. You can't do both. They're at the same time, miles apart. Whichever you pick, you miss the other completely, and you genuinely want both. People keep asking what you've decided, and you keep saying "I don't know yet," because choosing one means letting go of the other — and there's no answer that doesn't lose something. You have to pick, and soon.
