You only live once, do whatever you want!

Sunday, 13 March 2022


I finally decided to resign from my job. I’ve always wanted to do this but never had enough courage until it just happened naturally that my gut told me this is the time. It was a bold decision for me cause I didn’t come up with any backup plans, but I felt it was the right time. It was so overwhelming and frustrating with the work stuff that I barely had time to work on myself. I was so burned out and I needed a break. 


It was really hard to leave everything I built for the past 3 years, the steady job, the people and the friendship. One thing for sure, nothing in life is constant. Things change. and I have to move forward. I’m excited to embrace a new experience and I believe that there’s something better out there waiting for me. 


I’ve never been this free since I left my job. I feel so light. I can feel emotions that I’ve never felt before. I can be more focused on myself and have more time to learn myself better. I really enjoy this career break. I get to reflect on myself and ask myself again, “What do I want?”. Many times I did things because I had to instead of I wanted to. It was even a struggle to figure out what I want. Now, gradually, I’m rediscovering myself, knowing what I want, what I like and I don’t like. From this moment, I wanna be honest with myself. I want to live my life doing things that only bring me joy. I wanna do things I love to do and give my whole heart to them. What’s the point of being alive if you’re not doing what you love? You’re wasting your life.
