A while ago (as in probably until senior year of high school) I looked at voting as rather pointless.  I couldn't see the point of voting when I was up against millions and millions of other people.  I still would have voted because I think it's a social responsibility, I just wouldn't have felt very impassioned about it.  However, as this election has neared I found myself more and more invested in the election than I ever expected to be.  In this same time period I also started to make more of my own opinions.  I have always been an extremely indecisive and un-opinionated person. While I did have preferences, I never felt strongly enough to want to counter someone else's opinion by sharing mine (some may say this sounds like lack of confidence...I'm not sure). This always bothered me because I never felt like I knew who I was. However, in the past year or so I have found myself caring enough to create stronger opinions and share them.  This is connected to choice because, to me, having opinions is a large part of making choices.  So, I guess to me it does matter what I choose (even if I don't share it) in that it helps me define myself.
