Isn't there some quote about people living "lives of quiet desperation." Part of the reason I'm moving to a new city is I'm bored with life in a little city and want more options and a new place to decorate.
We can have hobbies that can give us other more fun things to do than keep our noses to the grindstone.
I personally I'm looking forward to a cute little house with a porch swing and a picket fence. And, oh, yeah, I like to travel!
My sons don't understand people who go to college and then come back to their home towns, working a menial job because they don't want to go anywhere else.
I want my sons to get ahead and do better than I have.
