Please, somebody, get me out of this fancy enclave of McMansions and SUVs!
  • This is my first thought all too often concerning Cary's letters...

    ...but...how in the world did you not think for a second about the kind of place you actually wanted to live before you bought a house in cupcakeland?

    I'm sorry--I know it's not practical because you don't have a time machine--but everyone, really, just think for a few minutes about what you actually want out of life. How you want to live, how you want to behave, what you want to do. And why. And then don't do things that run directly contrary to who you know you are.

    The hard part in that is, you have to know who you are, and be honest about what you want, and why. Then you can't be tricked into thinking you want to live in the suburbs.
