Anything that's costs you your peace is too expensive
Last Friday I lost my job of four years... I thought it would make me feel stressed and worried about the future, but given the unhealthy work environment that I had put up with for so long, I feel almost nothing but relief. I knew that my relationship with this company was coming to an end for a while now and frankly I wish I would've summoned the courage to leave a long time ago, but the money was the best I had ever made so I forced myself to try and stick it out for as long as I could. I'm uncertain of my future at this time but sometimes I think it's better for us as individuals for things to feel uncertain than to always feel comfortable. We do not change or grow when we're comfortable. We do not learn about the world or our own capabilities and strengths when we're always comfortable and for that I'm thankful to be moving on to something I know will be better for me professionally but also healthier for me mentally. And my advice for anyone else who might be going through something similar or maybe will face something similar in the future is to bet on yourself, take a leap of faith, and pursue what makes YOU happy in this beautiful world. Life is far too short to put up with any sort of unhappiness.
