Happily unhappy

Is it worth chasing our dreams if we hurt our loved ones?.
Is it worth achieving just one of our goals if we sacraficed everything?
We risk everything to become happier even though we already were.
I thought a good carrier and succes would make me happy but in truth, I had never been so lonely.
High salary, brand new furniture, Hi-Fi stereo. Chrysler 300C V6.
Fancy cloth and jewelry for the wife and kids.
I worked 85 hours per week because I believed the high income would unite us.
In truth I separated myself from my own family because I didn't give what they needed the most.
A father, a husband a close and loyal man in the family.
I never gave them that because I always worked and when I was finally home, I had to sleep.

We are schooled to chase the succes. We are schooled to chase carrieres,
but in truth it is the mos toxic and lonely way to live.
If somebody told me I wouldn´t be connected with my family if I chose succes over them,
I had chosen otherwise.

If just I had chosen to create memories with my family, I may still had my wife and kids.
Now I'm nothing else than a unhappy man sitting in his house alone, with the fancy furnitur he believed would make him happy.
