as all of you may know by now, i quit my job so that i can focus on my art. prior to making this decision i was working in a environment that was very toxic and lowkey depressing, and then it came to me that i should just quit and do the one thing i know i am good at. this decision was easy for me because i did not have much to worry about, now don't think i have bags of money that i can easily get access to when i please; it's the opposite actually, i don't have a savings account and not a lot in my checking account but i did not let that stop me. i just could not see myself working for someone else while i was not happy with what i was becoming. when you let money or simply accepting the fact that you need a job to survive, well that kind of changes you for the worst. after actually sticking through this decision i was very surprised on people's reaction; i was actually told by a friend to share my story so that it may help someone else, and my main advice is this, never question your happiness.
now that its been a week, i've come up with a list of things that i've learned and experience:
no pride
- accept and appreciate when others want to help
- be willing to talk with others about anything
- be ready to hear the bad and learn from them
be patient
- still learning, but i would say this is a very important lesson
- pay attention to your surrounding to know when to move about
- you have to be willing to view things another perspective before making decisions
for this to work you have to start reprogramming yourself to become the person you want and was meant to be.
