choose ye: mixin’ it up

Filed under: either or — meg @ 12:07 pm

(and y’all are going to be all “I won’t choose! i don’t have to choose!” or “both!” on this one, and that’s not the point… the point is TO choose, TO prioritize, TO ask the tough questions. Choose YE. Don’t mess with the formula if you take on the challenge, my little gooseberries. And yes, you can explain your choices, if you like.)

To raise exceptionally kind children with average intelligence or exceptionally smart children with some social adjustment issues?

To take a year off work to follow your dreams or to change your job to something you love much more in the long term?

To open up conflict resolution in your family or to avoid conflict altogether?

To be very physically fit but slightly larger in frame or classically physically optimal in frame but lacking in fitness? (yes, this is possible)

To marry someone smarter than you, or of the same intelligence?

To have financial security with a partner who is your best friend (but a little lacking in romance) or to have a financial rollercoaster with the love of your life?

To live to be 90 with 80% good health, or to 70 with 100% good health until you croak suddenly?

To have one great talent you desire that you do better than most people, or several talents you do reasonably well?

To live far away from family someplace beautiful, or to live near family in a place you don’t really enjoy?
