A couple days ago, I quit a job that I became really comfortable with in the past year. It took a lot of courage to do it, but I knew that if I did not, I wouldn’t leave for a while. I don’t really have a plan for where I want to end up or how I will be making money or gaining experience this summer, but leaving my comfort zone will allow me to explore options I otherwise would not have.
I’m really thankful for the time I spent at my last job, but the red flags became more apparent the longer I stayed and I found myself keeping myself in place solely based on the fact that I was too comfortable. All my friends were there, I knew what to do and how to do it, and it was just convenient. As I approach adulthood, I realize that everyone progresses at their own pace and finds success in their own time, but I cannot expect to reach for anything more if I am only grabbing what is in front of me.
So, I quit. 🙂
