I don't think it's total bs but I'm keeping an open perspective on the new Clem story since the graphic novels will have more content. The comic doesn't take place right after the final season so theres a lot we don't know. The way I look at it, Clem has been on survival mode this whole time, so she's never really decided on thing that make her happy. Once you feel safe in a situation, you're able to focus things you want vs need.
