Country Road, Take Me Home...

I woke up this morning and was thinking about how cool it was to go to the Great Wall yesterday. I also was thinking of all of the quite country roads that we drove on to get there and it made me think about how nice it would be to live in a quiet place like that. People were riding their bicycles everywhere and there were children playing and dogs barking and a feeling of general happiness in the faces of the people we passed.

It seems that no matter how old I get, I still can not balance my desire to lead a quiet and simple life like that or to have a super stressful and successful career. Even now, when I have found what I think to be the perfect career for me and am quite happy with how things are going in my life, there's still a huge part of me that just wants to pack up and go be a farmer on my friend's green tea farm in Japan. I really wish I could just take a peek about 25 years into the future and see which path I finally end up choosing, so I could just go ahead and do it now and stop always feeling so conflicted about it haha.

Sigh...
