For those that don't already know, I quit my corporate job (worked there 9 years) to move down south and pursue broadcast journalism, specifically in entertainment journalism. I got to the point where the fear of the unknown - never trying and seeing if I had it or not - outweighed the fear of failure. I knew I couldn't grow old without at least pursuing my dreams in broadcast.
The last 2 years of my old job was miserable for me. Not because of the people (I absolutely LOVED my coworkers/mentors/supervisors and others that I shouldn't have =/ ...you'll understand in a few more seconds), but it was the work. It was no longer challenging to me. I didn't wake up happy to go to work. I didn't have passion for what I was doing. Plus, (and here's the "ah ha" moment) I was harboring unrequited love for an already spoken for man (Ugh...I hate the curve balls life throws at you). It was hell seeing him everyday and pretending to just want his friendship. But I digress...
So ultimately I quit my job and decided to move to Los Angeles. Did I have a clear plan? - no. Did I think it was the smartest choice to make a career change in this economy? - no. Do I know what I'm doing now that I'm here? - absolutely not. Am I going to have an adventure and finally live life the way I want to without the restrictions of family/friends' opinions? - HELL YEAH!
