I mean I love both of them, but this just doesn’t seem right. What do you think?

I don’t know if I should be comforted or scared to think that in life I really don’t see the big changes coming. Whenever I think I am about settled in life, something happens (or maybe someone), and that which I thought would be my life is totally usurped. That change has happened, two weeks ago, as I was let go from my job. I didn’t really see it coming, though I wasn’t all that surprised when I was told by the CEO that my time had come.
And so I went home and took a moment to think about what was a good next step. I’ve been in advertising for about 5 years, and I can honestly say, each day that went by I liked it less and less. It wasn’t the work or the people, but the realization that advertising has been responsible for so much inner pain in modern lives. In a sense, it has worked hard to confuse one’s sense of self just to rebuild it with a product as the means of salvation.
As so with a child on the way, I have to ask myself if that is the life I want to pass on to my family? Do I want to pass on anxiety, depression and guilt? It was time for a change and I suppose losing my job was just a great first step.
So, now, I’ve decided to pursue writing full time as a novelist. Yeup. Que Family Guy clip…
More changes to come.

It is more of miracle to survive, than a tragedy not to.
