So I've decided it's time to finish my "love and hate" relationship with "the big blue box with the yellow branding". 5 years and 5 months! I have learnt a lot but I think time for me to move on. When I sent my first cv out a few weeks ago, I felt great. At least, I'm doing something about it rather than just sitting here and moaning about not getting any job satisfaction from my current job.
It might feel a bit sudden but the thought of quitting my job has gone through my mind a thousand times in the past 6 months and finally I did it. It is a relief and I feel much lighter. Some people say it's risky to quit a job without one lined up, but life is too short to be unhappy , not to mention safe and easy options may not be that safe and as easy as people think. Risk or opportunity? People will have their own view on that but I see great opportunities out there.
10 years ago, I wouldn't have even considered living in London was an option; too crowded, too dirty, too busy etc etc. It was risky to move to London over year ago, to live with a guy that I had only seen for few months, but I'm very happy I made that choice, cos my gut feeling told me to do so. Sometimes, there is only one way to find out if things will work out or not, and that's to give it a go.
So, what next? I will certainly be looking for a new job, and this time, no more "easy" options. It might take a while but I am prepared for that. There are lots things to do on my list too, focusing on selling my handmade accessories is one. If it works that's brilliant, if not, at least I know I have tried.
It's a big wild world out there, and I'm very excited that I have the opportunity to explore it. I'm grateful that my boyfriend supports the idea but is also being realistic and keeping my feet on the ground.
Finally, I see the light. And finally, I update my blog for the first time this year! :)
