A smart, funny, emotionally honest story about ambition, identity, and the uncomfortable difference between choosing your life and choosing your work.
By May, Erin has a decision to make.
The opportunity that appeared in April is still on the table, quietly waiting. At BalanceWay, the numbers are strong and Erin has become the go-to person for everyone on the team. The work -life is fast, and dangerously satisfying.
For the first time in years, she feels powerful.
The rest of her life is... less certain.
Nick is kind, steady, and very much rooted in the life he's already built, filled with school events, shared custody, and a daughter who deserves stability. Erin fits in that life. Mostly. On good days it even feels easy.
But easy and right are not always the same thing.
As the weeks move forward and the decision she's been postponing refuses to disappear, Erin finds herself circling a question she's spent years avoiding:
When you say you're choosing yourself... are you actually choosing your life?
Or just the part of it where you're winning?
Wry, intimate, and quietly devastating, May is a story about ambition, self-honesty, and realizing that sometimes the hardest choice isn't between two people-it's between the person you want to be and the life that's already waiting for you.
