Kevin was tired. His day had been long and full of meetings. As he walked down the street, he saw a hotel sign. It looked nice and quiet, just what he needed.
Inside, the hotel was very fancy. Chandeliers sparkled and the floors were shiny. It was almost too much, but Kevin was so tired.
A friendly worker greeted Kevin and gave him a key. His room was on the third floor. Kevin took the elevator up and opened the door to his room.
The room was beautiful. It had a big, soft bed and a view of the city. Kevin sighed with relief and sat down on the bed.
Just as Kevin was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door. A young man brought him room service, even though Kevin didn't order anything.
Kevin was confused, but the young man smiled and said it was a treat from the hotel. Kevin thanked him and closed the door.
He looked at the food. It was fancy and decorated, but Kevin just wanted simple food. He felt out of place in such a grand setting.
The next morning, Kevin went downstairs to check out. He saw many pretty boys enjoying the hotel's luxuries. They seemed very comfortable, unlike Kevin.
As Kevin walked out, the friendly worker asked if he enjoyed his stay. Kevin thought about the extravagant lifestyle and how he felt trapped by it.
He realized that sometimes, simple is better. Kevin smiled and said the hotel was very nice, but it was not for him. He preferred a quieter, simpler place.
Back on the street, Kevin felt free. He learned that it was important to be in a place that felt right to him, not just a place that looked good.
As he walked away, Kevin knew he made the right choice. Responsibility means choosing what is best for you, even if it is not the most beautiful option.
