Book Cover & Preview Text
It was the best of times that somehow seemed to be the worst of times. I had finally understood the genius of Charles Dickens in penning that line. It was the perfect description of my life.
I was suffocating. If I did "this"one more time, I knew I wouldn't survive. I couldn't explain it. It didn't make any sense. I couldn't stop it. It just was. But it couldn't be. Not after all I had subjected myself to over the last decade, chasing this dream. I had finally arrived. I had everything I needed, if not everything I wanted. I would finally be debt free and soon I would be saving towards that house; that life that I’d always planned on having. I would finally be able to travel the world I had longed to see, maybe have time to meet the mythical “one”, and start that family I had always planned on having. I was supposed to be pinnacled on “the best of times”.
There was just one small negligible sinkhole on this path to Utopia; “This,” was killing me. At least, that’s what it felt like. It seemed like the career I had worked so hard to achieve, had become a noose fabricated from discouragement and despair. I dreaded falling asleep for it meant waking up to yet another disillusioned day. As blessed as I knew I was to have come to the proverbial “arrived” status, I struggled to find one thing to be grateful for. I had to get away.
Three months later, reality set in. I had ‘lost’ everything by walking away. I had no other job offers, and no alternative source of income. The biggest ‘leap of faith’ of my life was now looking more like a bungee jump with an unattached cord. The noose I was hoping to avoid was now tightening. It was the worst of times…
