Life goes on, and it ain't about Job

[81388*]

Theo,

That is the real question, and the real problem.

My wife and family have been my passion, outside of work, it is what I did.

I spoke to a friend last night, and she was asking what I was really afraid of, of course the guy in me said I ain't afraid of nothing, but came to the realization that what I most fear is that I don't know who I am outside of this relationship.

I met my wife Sr. year of high school, and have never been in a relationship with anyone else since. I have spent the last 26 years defining myself in terms of not who I am or want to become, but in terms of husband to my wife, father to our children.

Yes I have a challenging and rewarding career, I have attained some success within it, it has kept us comfortable although not well off. I enjoy what I do, but it is not what I am passionate about.

I really need to get a life, but first I have to find my life.
