I quit my job at the beginning of this year. Infinitely lighter, happier. I still have some residual health things, but they are improving. Especially having savings, it's much easier, which I was lucky enough to have in my scenario too. The hardest thing for me has just been the feeling of idleness with a paycheck not coming in regularly, but I just remind myself how much better the rest of my life is... and I'm ok. :)

I was not doing great mentally and it took me 5 2 week notices printed, 2 being turned in. And now I finally quit without even giving my two weeks. Though it seems a bit unprofessional for me to do, I genuinely just had enough of this place. I love all my coworkers, they were all nice to me but if this job is hindering me from my success, I fear it is not worth it. My boss is still hoping for my return and said I can take a mental break, but I can’t take another shift with nothing but stress. My favorite coworker also quit so I left on his last day of working since we also kinda told each other we’ll quit together. Haha life is so awesome.

I suddenly woke up within the past week or so and realized I can’t keep letting my life suffocate me (not to sound dark but it is what it is, in a lot of aspects). My brain is trying for the second time to push me into getting fired from a miserable side gig I have by avoiding and procrastinating and making careless mistakes because my heart is just not in it and really, it never was… last time this happened it was my only source of income and there was a great yawning abyss beneath me but luckily now I do have a job that I enjoy and is not stressful where I’m treated with respect and I get to do a lot of things.
All of that is to say that I just turned a project in literally like 30 seconds before it was due (LOL) and I realized I can’t keep doing this to myself so I’ve decided to quit and hope that this opens up space for me to find something better 🙏

nothing touches my soul deeper than the sound of music. all of the women in my family have cherished the movie forever, and i grew up listening to the music. everytime i hear that opening song, i cry and am flooded with pure and unadulterated joy. i’m convinced my nana is in fact maria, making it that much sweeter for me. a perfect film that makes me believe that musicals are the closest thing we have to magic.
