Hey, thanks for the note this morning. I totally get what you mean about feeling torn between the two options. I had a similar situation last year and ended up going with the one that felt more sustainable long term rather than the flashier short term choice. It worked out well honestly. I spent the first few months second guessing myself but by the end of the year I was really glad I stuck with it. A friend of mine went the other direction and she had a completely different experience so I think a lot of it depends on your personal rhythm and what you're optimizing for right now. There's no one size fits all answer unfortunately but I do think you have enough context to trust your gut on this one. Either way you'll learn something valuable that will help you make the next decision even better. Let me know what you end up deciding and if you want to talk through it more I'm happy to help you think it through. We could grab coffee this weekend if you're free. Anyway no pressure just putting it out there because I know how helpful it can be to talk these things out loud with someone who's not in the middle of it. Talk soon! yAUrTjJBVRu6S

I meant to reply to your message yesterday but the day got away from me completely. We had a few unexpected things come up around the house and by the time I sat down it was already late. Anyway I wanted to say I totally agree with your take on the situation. I have been thinking about it since we last talked and I think you hit on something important that most people overlook. It reminded me of a conversation I had with a colleague a few months back where we landed on a very similar conclusion. We tend to overcomplicate things when really the simplest path is often the right one. I have been trying to apply that mindset more often and honestly it has made a difference in how I approach decisions both big and small. Let me know how things go on your end. I would love to hear how it plays out once you move forward with your plan. No rush on the reply just wanted to share my thoughts while they were still fresh. Hope you have a good rest of your week and we can catch up properly soon.
