In Which Freedom Can’t Be Found

This is despite the fact that I've always had this ability. On the other hand, it shifted as a result of events that occurred more recently. 

On the other hand, it changed as a consequence of occurrences that took place in more recent times. 

Because I, like everyone else who is insane, was looking for something that was far better for me than what was good for me, I ended up right here with you. 

Because of this, I pursued something far more aggressively than would have been healthy for me, and as a direct consequence of this decision, I find myself sitting right here with you. 

As a direct result of this, I engaged in an activity that was in no way serving any of my best interests, despite the fact that it was a direct consequence of this. 

In spite of the fact that I worked at other jobs that kept me busy, I came to the realization that living life according to one's own terms was not nearly as challenging as I had anticipated it would be.
