When building a business form scratch it is hard to know what it will really cost. I have spend years on the brink of losing it all. One bad day from losing all that my family and I invested, which was everything.
Now that I see the success begin to bloom, I have to look around and see what the toll really was. It's a recurring story. It cost me my Wife. I have lived the last year and a half in an open Marriage. I knew I couldn't always be there. I would lock her away. To bottle up her life would have been a crime to our hearts and souls. Through that though, she developed a relationship that became her primary. I had a shadow of what a marriage meant to me.
I could not beat all of the odds. I may be able to maintain a connection. It will never be what I had really wanted. So now, I start anew. A full life ahead. A vessel of broken willing to walk the world and see how the pieces fit.
