The Life We Almost Missed

A Story About Waking Up Before It Was Too Late

There was nothing obviously wrong with their life.

From the outside, Shane and Joylyn were doing everything right steady careers, a comfortable home, responsibilities handled, expectations met. They were successful. Reliable. Responsible.

And quietly, they were disappearing.

The Life We Almost Missed is an intimate, deeply human story about what happens when a life that looks "good on paper" begins to feel unbearable on the inside and what it takes to listen before it's too late.

When Shane's body starts sending signals he can no longer ignore, and Joylyn realizes the cost of holding everything together, they are forced to confront a truth many people avoid: you can survive a life that isn't yours... but you can't live one.

What follows is not an escape fantasy or a self-help prescription, but a quiet, unfolding reckoning with ambition, fear, marriage, identity, and the invisible pressure to always want more. As they step away from the noise of their old life and toward something slower and more intentional, they begin to ask different questions:

What is "enough"?
Who are we without the chase?
And what if the life we're running toward has been waiting for us all along?

Told through alternating perspectives, this story captures the tender moments where change actually begins not in dramatic breakdowns, but in honest conversations, shared glances, held hands, and the courage to stop pretending.

The Life We Almost Missed is for anyone who has ever felt successful but empty, busy but disconnected, or afraid that life is passing quietly while they keep pushing through.

It's not a guide.
It's not a manifesto.
It's a mirror.

And for the right reader, it may be the moment they finally recognize themselves and choose differently.
