or, do you have to think on it for a long time and decide?

Do you "just know" or is there something else at work in your minds? Can someone shed some light on this for me?

Ouch. It really depends. It's often emotional attachment. It could be from memory. Or occasionally, from analysis, and finding connection.

It really depends on what it is. Sometimes yes, you just feel "This is it...this is me." and that "thing" becomes a favorite.

At other times, you live with something long enough that it becomes a part of you, a part of your identity.

I agree with Dev. It depends on what it is, and how it resonates with you.

I can't pick a favorite song, because there is so much music I like for various reasons, but paradoxically I can pick a favorite movie.

Thank you all for the input. I generally try an pick something for the sake of participating in conversation.

But, I always feel as if I'm lying... I guess either I'm attached to too much or two little. Maybe I over analyze.
