A lot of people in Westport describe their life the same way: "fine." Good routines, nothing on fire. But recognizing when "fine" has quietly become the enemy of more — and that is the conversation nobody starts at dinner. Let's start it here.
And this is Westport: a community in the New York orbit where ambition is normal, busy is a badge, and gratitude can quietly slip into autopilot. Which is exactly why this question lands differently here than anywhere else.
You don't have to blow up a good life to build a bigger one. You just have to stop calling the plateau 'peace.'
