Oh erik... i think we'd all understand that. seriously... you should read "The House of Mirth" cuz that's exactly what she goes through...kinda. Anywho... i'd say make happiness, simplicity and success all part of the same puzzle though. They don't need to be separate...i don't plan for them to be. retire early i say !!! you can always talk to me if you want to randomly about this stuff, cuz it's kinda odd to just handle on your own esp. when you don't think it's happening to anyone else, but it IS !
