Like most employees, I hated my job. Management was crap and some coworkers made life miserable. My time was consumed by unpredictable workloads and demands. Both mentally and physically, I was drained. After sobbing relentlessly to my partner about how I wanted to change careers, I decided that change wouldn’t happen unless I made a move. I searched and searched for months on end and after a while, I got discouraged. I started to feel like I wasn’t good enough for a position in the field of professional writing and all this effort would go to waste. Thoughts began to invade my brain. You are content here. You have a routine. I wilted under the pressure and settling for a life that lacked my version of happiness.
One day while daydreaming about the life I wanted, I suddenly felt inclined to check my email. Aimlessly scrolling through my inbox, I paused at the site of a particular subject line. At last, an email a job offer in my field had finally arrived. I was excited and undecided at the same time. The choice was either, take the job and advance in your career or stay still and unwilling to step outside of my comfort zone. I weighed by risks against the benefits. In the end, I choose to grow.
