Nice quick post that says what it needs to say. I keep on with my illusion of security. I don't enjoy my job, yet I've held on about two years longer than I should have.
I have made things even worse as far as my "needing" this so called security by buying a house and having a baby. Those two things have unnecessarily reinforced my belief that I have to keep this job.
Now I'm trying to find some measure of income to support us before I let go. Part of me just wants to say screw it because I believe I could make something worthwhile and create my own success as an entrepreneur and creator
It took a long time for me to finally take that plunge of leaving the "safe world" behind, and I won't tell you it's always pretty, but success it what we make it. Trying to define success while comparing ourselves to others is zero sum game and there is always greener grass on some side of the fence. There will always be people worse off and always people better off. I just try to worry about me and making due with what I have and focus on being happy. It is what it is, but I know that I'd rather be happy and not living a life I don't want anymore.
Same here, I just need to figure out the best way to transition, I'm on my way out of the cell I put myself in
