What's up?

Whenever I revisit my blog, it's usually me feeling hopeless, thinking about leaving my job, or just really bored. Currently it's a big check for all three. Lol.

I think I posted 2 years ago about a probability of studying abroad and that I'll make a decision a few years after. Well here's that decision. Not going. Haha! I realized I should focus on what I really want and start working on it now. Also, with the pandemic going on, it's difficult to travel, not to mention the cost. So why am I mentioning this and what's the connect with the first sentence of this blog post? To work on what I really want, I'll have to resign from my current job. I'm working at a really good company and it will be quite a sacrifice. And talking about my job, I'm starting to feel hopeless because almost all of my colleagues have been promoted so I'm feeling kind of left behind. Well I did get a promotion 2.5 years ago but considering the next level positions are taken and it's unlikely for anyone to leave, it will take a while to move up the ladder. I have the option to change department or leave the company. And to be honest, I'm more inclined to do the latter. I still have a few months to decide. Why a few months? I'm waiting for the bonus payout to enter my account first. Lol.

I quit my job.

It was a hard decision but I know I did the right thing. Some were perplexed and shocked why I left the company without another job waiting for me. I know it's not the best course of action but weighing my options, it had to be done. I don't want to be filled with "what if" thoughts in the coming years so I'm taking my chances pursuing what I really want. There is nothing wrong with my working environment. I had a wonderful boss, friendly teammates, good pay, and vast opportunities in the company. A lot of people would love to be in my shoes, yet I still left. So what made me quit? I'll be honest and say I was sick and tired of what I was doing. Not a very good reason because just like any other job, work is routinary for most companies. But I realized if I'm going to do something repetitive, might as well venture in an industry that is closest to my goal and passion. So why didn't I just start in that industry in the first place? Plans change. Over the years, we will realize things we weren't considering before. The company I worked for was my first choice and saw myself working in a long period of time. It's amazing what can happen in a year. You never know when it'll hit you to close a door so another opens.
