Chocolate mountain from Fuji, I’m blogging about it in the next post!

I’ve made a decision on Friday about my job – I don’t want to do it any longer. It will come as a shock to some as to why I did this so suddenly. Well, I could only say that it was the right time, and the right thing to do at this moment of my life.

I have other plans, and I do not know for certain if they will work out the way I hope it will, but knowing what I have to face now and what I will have to face later, the decision was relatively easy.

I did not want to live my life dictated by others, as I have up to this point; and I do not want to look back on my life to think that I have only been able to go so far because I did nothing about things that were dear to me.

It was a little hard for me to do things like these, well, because I am a very cautious person by nature. Sure, I am an odd risk-taker or two, but this has got to be the weirdest things I’ve done (almost on a whim!), a decision so swift but steady I can only think of one thing to describe it: I am free.

Of course, being free means a little of being poor, but the trade offs are good. I’ll be freelancing a little and doing a lot more of the things I’ve envisioned, and that’s a good enough reason to throw in the towel on this one. I know I can do better, and that I deserve better things than telling my boss that I am unhappy, and that I deserve a pay rise for doing two person’s job (he declined, by the way). I decided that “begging” was not how I want to live my life, and certainly not in a company that does not know how much I am worth.

So, I am free. But only after two months. But still, I am free.

Thank you for all your support, hugs and kisses – you know who you are.
