at the crossroads...

yesterday i was presented with an enticing proposition: to run and own another hyannis inn with a bar and restaurant. at first glance, i could see dollar signs glaring in my eyes. the thought of another hotel on main street could be strategically a huge advantage for us. but after meticulous considerations, i've reached a preliminary conclusion that begs the question: how long do you want to be in cape cod for?

though i can imagine a few more summers here, i'm not sure if this is it...that if i'm ready to settle down and expand here. i'm more of a city person anyway. i miss home and life there but then again, staying here would be simply all about money and stability. i was asked once by a simple man, would you rather be extremely happy and content but poor...or very wealthy but extremely miserable. to me, this was a no brainer; i can buy happiness with money i thought.

throughout my years working here, i find myself rethinking this. at this point, i work half the year and the other half, i pretty much have off and just relax. girls just seem to come and go in my life. friends become more and more distant every time i come back. at this stage in my life, i'm just looking for a balance. a balance between these two extremes. though i'm all about being absolut, i find myself at the crossroads now, torn between which direction to take on. i think i'll get extremely baked and think about this for a bit.

you know those old people that are happy with simplicity? they don't regret giving up money for meaning, so you should go for whatever you know will actually make you happy and content.
