Risk!

Taking risks is something I'm horrible at doing. I hardly do it in fear of having to be left in the dark and not having anything to hold on to.

19th april 2010. I took the biggest risk in my life to date. Knowing that there's a possibility of jeopardizing my career and not having a plan B to fall back on, I took the plunge & quit my job.
I was fearful. Thinking of the bills I needed to pay, the rent, car loan including saving for my Laos & US trips, I broke down almost immediately after having tendered my resignation.

Come June, I will be leaving this current job. It was a decent place to work at, albeit being a very silent place similar to the ambiance of a library. Totally contrasting with my personality! Very few colleagues became close friends, most of them being just acquaintances.
I had a pretty good boss before the management went through a restructure. Then I did pretty much get Lucifer as my higher boss which didn't exactly help with the mundane nature of the job.

All this being said, I appreciate having started my career at a publishing firm. I know that I've always wanted to be a writer. Working with the back end of publishing helped me understand the whole cycle of the publishing process. Those with similar experiences will definitely relate to this.

Two days after quitting my job, I got offered a job as a writer and web content developer in a company located nearer to where I live. I must have done something good and the gods decided to be nice to me. I am grateful, thankful and extremely happy to embark on my new journey. My family was there with me throughout my dilemma with my current job and the difficulties that came with it. They were supportive with my decision to quit and were willing to sponsor me financially in case it took a while to obtain a new job. I am proud and blessed to have such amazing parents.

Thank you Gods!
