Maui vs. New York

I imagine that one day I will be living in one of these two cities. Well, technically, it's Kihei vs. Manhattan.

The experience of the two towns could not be more different. One is so laid back, a tough day is tough because it rains. The other is wound so tight, it's easy to lose site there's a world outside of the city.

My heart says Maui. My head says New York.

My heart says I'd be happy working 20 hours a week and surfing and running. My head says I would get bored and need the stimulus an interesting job provides.

 My heart says my nieces are growing up and I need to experience their childhoods. My head says if I go to New York, I can continue on my career path, meet a woman and make my own children.

Finally, just to complicate things further, the company I'm currently working for is a great one. I don't necessarily want to leave it,

Fate? Destiny? Do we control our own destinies? Do we make our own fate? This is my Locke vs. Jack conundrum.
