Living for a Living

Taking the Plunge...

 

Disclaimer: I'm NOT a professional blogger, I'm NOT sure how the blogging world works and I'm NOT 100% sure what I'm doing with my life. That being said, I AM FUNemployed (yes, it's a thing), I AM technologically inept, and I AM about to finally start living my life for change. Oh, and my name is Christina, 29 years old, just quit my job, and have no F'ing clue what's next! 

 

My story does not stray far from the majority of the population working the 9-5, or more realistically in my industry 7-7. You yearn for a life beyond the 6'x6' box (AKA a cubicle, or as I like to call it, a torture chamber). You yearn to come to work and feel fulfilled, rather than just filling a seat, which are generally not built for comfort. Everyday felt like a beat down. Walking up the same stained staircase, knowing the same challenges and BS were impatiently waiting. Surely these staircases could lead somewhere else. 

 

I was conflicted! Isn't this what we have prepped ourselves for? Graduating college, climbing the corporate ladder, working countless hours to hit 6 figures? I checked all the boxes and then some. Where did these boxes come from? I was fitting a square peg into a round hole. Time to take the plunge. 

 

I will save you the long drawn, f*ck*d up story that finally led me to my resignation, (sounds better than quit, but it is what it is), nonetheless it was a true blessing in disguise. So here it goes... I'm entering the state of being jobless or otherwise W-2 challenged, and I couldn't be happier to NOT know what lies ahead!
