An Uneventful Day For A Big City Question

May 22. I worked from 7-4. The train unfortunately stopped short of my stop today for construction. So I had to shlep it an unknown number of blocks to work. Not fun. I met a few more co-workers, nice people. Filled, worked in fitting rooms, folded and folded and folded. The air-conditioner was broken today so it was disgustingly hot in the store. Made my way home, got a slice at my favorite pizza place, and watched some television to recover from waking up way to early as of late. While I didn't do anything crazy, the city has its slow side and I am taking advantage of it. Today I got to thinking about Big Decisions. "Should I stay or should I go?" The question that has echoed through the ages has finally hit me. In a city where tea is $50 and public urination has been embraced, one must wonder if it is the right fit for them. I have seen maybe 10% of the city, yet I guess I would never see the whole city no matter how long I had lived here. Yet I have caught myself saying if A happens I will stay, or if B happens I will go. This constant uncertainty has left me unsettled. I wonder if in the pure fact that I am questioning wether I should stay at all should be the sign that I am not really wanting to stay. While on the other hand I think that possibly in the fact that I am even acknowledging both possibilities suggests that I am ready to stay, and that I am aware of what is required of me and what would change in my life. When it comes to choices how do you know what's the right one?
