"This is a bag filled with dreams & recipes for soup & he's deciding right now which he's really hungry for. -Story People"
I came across this the other day while re-reading one of Brian Andreas' Story People books. He always has the best way to describe exactly what I'm thinking.
This particular story jumped out at me because I've been thinking a lot about what it is I'm really hungry for lately.
I love my job at the moment and I know I am getting to do so many things that most people never get to do but at times I fear that I won't ever get to have what everyone else has either.
Living in NYC is fun at times, but it means living paycheck to paycheck. Forget about vacations...I can't even afford to visit home. I don't own anything, not even a couch, and won't anytime soon since moving is a huge pain. Our apartment is so small that my old love for throwing dinner parties is out of the question, not to mention the fact that all my friends who loved attending them don't live anywhere in this time zone.
At almost 30 this is not the way I envisioned my life.
Which makes me think that it may be time to decide if I'm still hungry for the dreams or if it's time to be happy with the soup.

I hate to break it to you dear, but I'm not sure you'll ever just be happy with the soup. You may be able to convince yourself you should be. And you may be able to convince yourself that you actually are...but in reality, it just isn't enough for you. And I don't think that's a bad thing....
