About quitting my dream (?) job

Two months ago, I made one of the most challenging decisions in my life, if not the most. I quit that job that my “young” me has longed and worked for so hard. Don't get me wrong, speaking it out loud and admitting to myself that I need to take this step to protect my mental health and move forward in chasing the life that I really want to live - all of that was not done in one day. But, particularly, the last year was essential for me in terms of exploring, embracing, and expanding.

It was full of exploration, going deep on questions about who I am at my core, what I really want, and what nourishes me and makes me want to wake up in the morning. Full of embracing those new-found sides of me, the ones I tried to hide or was uncomfortable being with, the ones that made me feel alive and that I have not dared to live fully yet. Full of self-expansion, using this awareness to let go of what doesn't serve me anymore and focus on what makes me shine. ✨

All of this formed those invisible glasses which made me see. See the reasons for my frustration, anger, and sadness and, more importantly, see this new path that opened up that holds possibilities, learnings, growth, and passion for me. With this, I want to highlight the importance of staying connected and checking in with yourself, and working as hard on your mental (and physical!) wellbeing as you work on work-related skills or projects. You are the most critical project you will ever work on in your life anyway (Facebook and Instagram have taught us that already 😉).

And let's be honest, you are also that person that you are stuck with for a lifetime, so fucking enjoy this relationship and life with yourself TO THE FULLES 🫶🏽
