I recently quit my job about 3 weeks ago. It was my first job out of college and I was hired to be a content writer for the corporate communications team of a large firm.
The work, though stimulating in fits, saw me twiddling my thumbs most of the time, waiting for the next chai break. And slowly my mind became more numb, more limp, more inert. I became half the person I usually am. Half a Noella- it sounds like the worst abomination ever. To exist as half.
And so I threw that all in the air and watched it crash and burn giving up a substantial salary and good position because I want to be all of me. I threw myself fully into theatre, something that I have been a part of since 2010.
The result:
I am learning new things everyday that astound and amaze me
The world around me just got a whole lot bigger
The people I meet on a daily basis are crazy cats that are on a completely different wavelength
As much as I am outwardly exploring, I'm getting to know myself better
I am working on my health and fitness
I am working towards goals that broaden my horizons of experience - travel, write, read etc.
It's amazing how much you can accomplish if only you will free yourself.
(Note to self - get a tattoo of the words 'Carpe Diem', cause in the end, we are all cliched motherfathers)
