NEW CHAPTER

This is, by far, the hardest article to start with. I quit my job cold-turkey. It was one of the toughest decisions to make, but a necessary one as it’s been constantly and consistently making my mental health worse.

I’m not saying the job or my supervisors are bad. Not only they were good, but the most understanding people there are in the world when it comes to understanding my conditions. But when the ship is sinking, you have to escape otherwise it’s the titanic all over again.

Leaving jobs while not finding a new one in place is dangerous, but the upside about all this is that you get a little bit of a fresh air. Come out and smell the grass. Get out of your paper mask and feel the world. Take on the risks and fall so that you can pick yourself up later.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Of course, my next move would be finding a new job. I’m currently on a process of an interview and have a couple of potential one waiting to be executed. I’m trying to stay optimistic, though, in reality, I’m imaging all the worst outcome scenarios.

During my search for a new job, I would try to read as much books as I possibly can. I’m getting a cat later today and I will do my best looking after her, by the way its name is Jolie. I’ve been putting on unneeded weights a lot lately, so losing them and getting in shape (again) would be one of my set goals as well.

PREPARE FOR THE WORST, HOPE FOR THE BEST

I’ve come across with a quote from the film called, “A Most Violent Year” that goes, “When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when to jump”.

Well, I took the leap. I don’t know what future holds for me, but at least I’m finally getting a rest I deserved.

I can’t wait to be reborn. I promise I’ll bring back my old self and lit the world on fire again.

In the meantime, stay safe and stay true to yourself.

Talk to you later,

Matt
