Recently, I quit my job. I wasn't happy.
The two weeks seemed the longest drag of my life.
I have nothing bad to say about it - but, it wasn't benefiting me, personally. I didn't feel like I was excited to go to work every day, the people just didn't seem to appease me anymore. But, I made a decision for myself - to leave and continue with other endeavors. I am so happy that I did.
Throughout my life, I have learned you gotta quit the shit that doesn't make you happy. Whether that be a job, school, a friend, a person or anything / anyone. If you find out that it is not benefiting you in any way, you need to get out of it and get rid of it.
I feel like we only live once, so we might as well do whatever makes us happy. We need to focus on the time in our youth when we are able to quit a job or wait to go back to school or cut out negative and poisonous friends. We are in our twenties [or thirties] and we have so much time to quit things we don't need in our life. If there was any moment you were thinking about doing it, the time is now. You can only go higher from here.
I am not here to tell you to go out and quit all your jobs and tell your friends they suck and they need to be nicer to you, but you could if you wanted to. There is nothing stopping you, if you don't need it, reevaluate it. That's what I did. Your midlife crisis isn't coming for another decade, so do crazy shit now and pretend you didn't do it later.
Don't try and talk yourself out of it either. I tried doing that, which then resulted in me saying:
"Oh, yeah, well, it'll be greater later.
It makes you feel like crap going every day, but you
should still go anyway because you have to!
But, maybe one day you won't have to do it anymore..."
But, why should I even be thinking about later? I should be thinking about how it makes me feel now. How I am unhappy with it now, not later. Sure, it might not make me unhappy later and it'll be greater later - but, I am going to have to pretend to be happy about something I am completely unhappy about. Why should I exhaust myself like that, when I can just not do that and say peace out?
All I am saying is that - if you want to quit it and you don't want it anymore, then fuck it. Get over it and say stop. If they treat you like you are not a person, or say mean things to you, or try and bully you - simply say fuck it.
Life is short and sometimes lives are too. We gotta do the most we can right now before it all ends. Think about it like this - you'll be so much happier you did it in the long run. Because trust me, I've been extremely happy ever since I put in those two weeks. And I have some amazing endeavors happening in my life that I am proud of.
