Would You Rather - Fun and Silly Questions
Hey everyone, for some fun I'm doing to try and post a few 'would you rather' questions here each weekend to spark some discussion below.
Starting of today with this question: Would you rather sing everything you spoke for here on out, or burst into a dance-break every time you feel a strong emotion?!

@DonnerKebab really appreciate it bro, I saw you replied to my thread about the courses, I know you said do the 3 month course but I decided to go with the 6 weeks course in the end, I didn't ignore your advice though and took it into consideration but spoke to the 6 week one and they said it should get me into work quicker, I just was was told Id get my travel expenses paid but my key worker is working slow with that.
@Redemption as i said bro, do what's right for you. If they've told you that's the one that will get you into work faster, and your more comfortable with it, then go for it. Both of them sound awesome, both of them will help you to advance, and ultimately, you know more about them than what i do. Good luck with the 6 week course bro. It's still taking steps forward, will help you get closer to your goals, and that's something to be proud of.
So how are you feeling about it? You mentioned it starts very soon.
