"Sometimes growing up means making the tough decisions.
I'm a people pleaser by nature. I like harmony. I like calm waters. The thought of not being able to come to a decision where all parties are satisfied churns my stomach and twists it into knots. I'm talking lost sleep sort of bothered.
Very few times have I had to make a really difficult decision. The past few days have presented one to me, and I finally made it. It is one of those choices you make where you're not really going to feel a lot better about either option. I had to sit down and look at the situation, and figure it out using nothing but cold hard fact. I made the choice that will benefit me most.
Is that selfish? Yes. Was it the right choice? Yes. Was it easy? Not at all.
I know that sometimes I have to think about myself. I have to think about what the future has in store for me and make my life out of what I can. I'm not talking mogul take-overs and stepping on all the little people on the way up... just mapping out my life (as much as anyone can) and figure out how I can live a healthy, happy, comfortable, and fullfilled life.
Is there anything good that comes from being an adult?

That's cool. What big decision did you make?
Well, it's not really "cool". It actually really sucks that I had to make it... and I feel like crap. I'd feel like crap either way, though... so there was no real way for me to win.
Wow really uncool. :-) I'm sorry you feel like crap. So what big decision did you make?
A decision between working for a friend I love and working for a company I love that will (in the end) pay more, thus allow me to do things I want/need to do.
Oh, I see. Tough one. I'm sure you made the right decision and that the friend understands.
I hope so. It doesn'y make me feel much better, though.
Seriously, Scott. It's ok that you don't want to be my personal underwear model. I know that I couldn't pay as much as JWT so it's completely understandable that you turned me down.
Thanks Cuz. On my way! (outside)
... oh wait... it's cloudy.
Actually, it turned out to be quite lovely out, and Dustin and I threw some frisbee.
