Being Free

(photo credit)

"He who is brave is free" 

I've briefly mentioned that I just passed my resignation a week ago. It was one of the most freeing moments of my life. Off from college, I never imagined myself working in an office, behind a desk having strict working hours. It just wasn't me. Since being a radio DJ didn't work out as planned, I figured I might as well try the corporate world. After all my Marketing course was hella fun back in college. 

So I did. 2 years in, dreams of pursuing photography kept occupying my mind and I was restless almost every night just thinking about it. I kept setting the dream aside, but it kept creeping in. 

I'm one who tries to live a life without regrets. Who talks about passion almost all the time and who encourages people to go for their dreams. I guess now it was MY TIME to do that, to put everything into practice. 

So here I am! Soon-to-be corporately unemployed to pursue photography. I know some wouldn't agree that this is the best decision. But trust me, if you've had sleepless nights thinking about chasing a dream, you'd care less about nay-sayers. 

I'm hoping to share my journey with whoever is reading this. I think I'll need all the encouragement and positivity I can get. Here's to pursuing passions and being free.

    I just did the same thing. I quit my job and went to Madrid. Here's to seeing the rest of the world! Cheers to doing what makes you free, what makes you feel alive! :o) - Deb

    Hi Abi! Just thought to comment here, as lately I've been wrestling with the same thoughts about work. I think it's a little harder for me to leave, considering that it's a family business, but God's been giving me a lot of green lights & that's what's giving me the courage to go through with it. :)

    Woooh! Certainly nerve-wracking, but freeing indeed. :)
