Sure, I might be in the middle of a slow mid-life crisis, or it could be that I am ready to start changing careers.
It’s more like I should change careers, or at least I am thinking about it. Actually, doing it is another story.
But I started looking at grad school again; history, English, creative writing, or something with theatre. These are all subjects that I would like to explore, but I keep pulling back from committing to a real search. I’m holding off from taking it seriously.
Am I comfortable where I am right now? Yes, that would be a true statement.
Am I sacred to change things in my life? That is also a true statement.
Do I want to stay put forever? No, I would like to keep learning and growing.
So, I am letting myself be pulled in many different directions. That is also true.
I want to try something new, but there is a kid involved with my life, and I don’t want her to go without. I feel like whatever choice I make, someone will get the short end of the stick. Is it more debt that gets added on? Is it the kid missing out on the things that other kids her age get to do? But if I do nothing, then the kid gets a father who is miserable. That’s worse than her not getting to go to Summer camp.
