Well, honestly, I think I’m the perfect person to answer this.
Because I know for sure, I’m not someone who seeks security.
I just can’t stick to one thing for too long. I’m always chasing change – even if that change comes at a huge cost to my life or career.
If I were after security, I’d be walking the conventional path.
But here I am, 27 years old, having quit my job and everything else to build a freelancing business from scratch. I don’t even know if it’s going to work.
But I’ve already taken the leap.
And not just once or twice – this is the fourth time I’ve quit a job abruptly.
Every single time, it’s been in search of something better. Something that feels more fulfilling.
This thought – this restlessness – it’s been with me for as long as I can remember. And I’m not just someone who thinks about things and lets them go. I’ve acted on it.
I’ve failed miserably. I’ve gone back to a job. And then, after a year or so, I’ve done the same thing again.
There’s this itch that a job just isn’t for me. And no matter what I do, it doesn’t go away.
Yes, I worry about the future. Of course, I do. But that worry is still smaller than the one I feel when I’m working for someone else, knowing deep down that I could be doing something of my own.
I don’t know if I’ll make it this time.
But I’m going to keep trying.
And honestly, “security” just feels like another word for monotonous to me.
