I very recently achieved my lifelong ambition (publishing a real book that appears in real bookstores), but I have been too unhappy with the rest of my life to really enjoy the moment. Blah. I experience brief flashes of, "Wow, I published a book!" but such happy thoughts are quickly snuffed by my cynical psyche.
Rest of my life = unhappy marriage, mountain of debt, unhealthy weight gain, and profound shortage of ambition.
But, it could be worse.
