here is wherever you need to be

Found written on a napkin at the Starbucks by the Randolph Street Metra stop, Chicago, IL:

not happy here, but is it me or here?

It's an underground Starbucks near a train station and I think that leads to deeper thoughts...and of course no one is suggesting that Starbucks itself was causing the unhappiness. More likely it merely provided the beverage to stimulate such reflective thoughts, and the kindly recycled napkin to write out a question that we've probably all asked ourselves at some point in time.
