Clearing the air

I promised myself this will be a positive documentation of what this whole process will be like. I fight to be optimistic when I feel frustrated. But my happiness for the future will not be trumped.

To clear the air. Let it be said, I loved my job. Loved because I am resigning not because of anything else mind you. I just feel like it has changed for me and today I need to be a happy person in all aspects and sacrificing my personal life is not an option anymore. I want to be able to spend my time doing the things that I want to do instead of staying at home cause I need to sleep. :)

I miss the beach, I miss my friends and most of all I miss my family! :) So yay for new beginnings! Let's all be positive.

My Support System

I am not a risk taker. As many who know me well enough would know, I don't like not knowing how something will turn out so it takes me awhile to actually do something. That's the main reason why it took me so long to actually get the courage to actually resign. The uncertainty of what the future has in store for me. The thought of not having constant income, of not having work...that's a pretty scary thought. But in the end, I think the need to not be in a certain situation trumps any fear.

The moment I submitted my letter I sent messages to those I was closest to and the one constant reply I got was Congratulations! It was heart warming and very encouraging. I was doing the right thing. I was finally taking that one big step for me! And whatever comes my way I am sure I will always have them.

So a big shout out to my family, my friends and most especially to my significant other without whom I would still be confused and angsty! hahaha...you guys balance me out! Thank you, for providing me with another point of view and for not always agreeing with my views but still hear me out! Yay! Love you support system!

Taking the BIG STEP

No. I am not getting married! Hahaha...but...a couple of weeks ago I finally made one of the biggest decisions in my life. For now at least. I turned in my resignation letter. I have no plan. I have made no inquiries for other jobs. I have no offers. YET! But the thought doesn't scare me. Instead, it excites me. I'm starting over. Starting fresh.

So today, I decided, I should document this whole process. Me taking back my life. Literally. I have tons to say. But in due time. For now...it's back to work for me, at least for the next 3 weeks. Let's make this happen. :)
