During my early to mid twenties, I imagined that a key component of the ideal life, a life that is lived to the fullest, would be one that encompasses a certain free-flow and intuitive form of living.
Well written, very intellectual…perhaps the part you may be missing, or at least not mentioning enough?, is having 3 young boys to manage. This is the proverbial spanner in the machine. Having also parented 3 young humans, I simply don’t believe there is any framework that can be applied to such a pursuit. It is utter chaos and you are right to say “survival”.Particularly when you are matching the “getting of the professional designations” followed by “doing the professional work” with welcoming kids into the mix and trying to find a way to get to it all. You are a hands on, involved father, your boys benefit from this. You did great. Keep going.
