'i really value my freedom' - to me, the concept of freedom is to have options. when the option is taken away, that freedom is gone. i eat out every night. and in my life, there's really no option to eat at home. i dont have to explain why i don't stay at home and cook cuz for 1, it's not an option. so my reality, there's no option for home cooked food. the grass is greener on the other side. i walked by resto the other day and thought, nice quaint and in the neighborhood. a must try. just read the nymag review. pretty spot on. whatever the review says...it's Reader Rating: 6 out of 10.

Resto happens to be serving the best Belgian food in New York today. Which, no offense to Skeen, isn’t saying all that much: Other than the Petite Abeille and Le Pain Quotidien chainlets, the Pommes Frites French-fry shack and the lovably dated West Village bistro Café de Bruxelles, there’s not a lot of competition. But that shouldn’t detract from Resto’s undeniable appeal either. With an American owner and chef and a refined Manhattan approach to food, Resto is Belgian in the same way that Momofuku Noodle Bar is Japanese or the Spotted Pig is English—which is to say, not slavishly but interpretively. And like those two restaurants, Resto achieves that rarest of combinations: expectations- exceeding, thoughtfully executed food in the sort of unpretentious surroundings that define the best kind of neighborhood restaurant.
"lets jus share" - steak and eggs. rare. and a croissant benedict. i didn't realize it was your birthday 2 days later, good thing i paid for the meal. =). it's quite shocking to think that you don't want kids. nightmares about the responsibilities of kids is one thing, but i never underestimate innate maternal instincts to want kids in the future. and as much as you value your freedom to do what you want, i feel that freedom is also undervalued as the biological timeline of having kids slowly dwindles....and that may put a lot of stress on your viewpoint.
"its good that you were able to look at yourself, pinpoint the weakness and change it. not many people are able to do it" - there's my quick update as to what i've been up to the past few months. what i do. where i've been. socially and personally. and i think this is a good move for him too. environment influences people. i think it's a good change and move for him because it injects some aggressive nyc attitude which i feel like i lost when i was out there. that's not who i am but living out there it just made you a bit more passive. i didnt like who i was becoming so now im back. its good.
"is this your comments to him? or is this comments on the side?" - i've never met him but if you're going to describe him that way then im surprised that you ended up with someone like that. sorry, i need to keep qualifying my statements. i don't mean to be rude, im just being open in this conversation and by no means is it a judgmental statement. i just want to know more your stream of thought and also as how it applies to me.
