I Stepped Onto a Different Track

The Moment That Changed the Direction of My Life

I currently work as a game animator.

But this was not the path I originally chose.

In the past,
I made decisions based purely on money.

Higher income, faster results.

Following that logic,
I gradually moved into environments
that were more intense and demanding.

Strangely,
while my income was increasing,

my quality of life
and mental state
were getting worse.

At some point,
a thought came to me:

“It would be such a waste to live like this and die.”

I was 30 years old at the time.

That moment became a turning point.

Instead of continuing on the same path,
I chose a completely different direction.

At the time,
I had no idea what the outcome would be.

There was uncertainty,
and there was fear.

But looking back now,
that decision changed my life completely.

I am living a completely different life,
and the way I think has also changed.

At that time, I didn’t realize it.

But now, I know clearly.

That was the moment I stepped onto a different track.

Life may not be a single fixed path,
but a structure of multiple possibilities.

And at certain moments,
we choose one of them.

What matters is not making the perfect choice,
but having the courage
to choose a different direction.
