thread: 2012-06-25 : "Conflict" "Resolution"

"Uncertain interests" is easy to misread as "interests that I'm not certain about," so seems an ill fit. Perhaps "challenges" as in "challenges to accomplishing my interests?" The challenge you face seems key; until my interests face an obstacle, it's not really interesting.
I also think "interests" might be stronger, to avoid the "architecture, Woody Allen movies, and long walks on the beach" response. For that I offer "goals".
So, my goal is to keep my self-determination, but I face a challenge that my mother wants to marry me off to avert a clan war. My mother's goal and challenge are the inverse. Or, my goal is to be safe and sound on the ground, but my challenge is that I'm in a ski lift, 50 feet above the ground, and dropping down will likely break my legs.
