City Lights

City Lights is by far one of my favorite places in Charleston. It's small, sometimes cramped but so cute, with delicious coffee, an excellent place for people watching, art on the walls, live music, and great people who work there. I just enjoy it. I have spent much time here contemplating life! This week I have found myself reflecting on "do what you have to do" that seems to be the exact phrase everyone in my family (mom, sister, cousins) have been echoing in my ear. And for the first time in my life I understand that aspect, but do I stay in Charleston where I have a job, but will be struggling to get by for the first few months, with rent, and loans, and bills, not to mention all the driving i am doing in all this traffic I feel like I am watching my gas race down to empty...or do I move back, live at home (rent free, security deposit free) and get a job serving tables and work towards saving money instead of scraping to get by. hmmmmmmmmmmm. There is two sides to every story isn't there. Yin and Yang, my friend Yin and Yang, and I can't seem to find the balance.
Oh and rumor has it (notice how it is always rumor because no one seems to want to talk directly to me) that I am being put on the schedule next week...I'm still annoyed, and at this point have to do what is best for me, and if that's leaving, well I guess that sucks for them.
For now I will enjoy my coffee, and some music.
