Decisions to make!

I opened my eyes and I was in some other world, a world full of dreams and love and consideration. A world full of opportunities and happiness. A world where there was you and me and all the cuteness one could ever imagine.
It was the day before I actually started living. It was the day when I realized what was really important, what should really be cherished, what should really be present in your life to make you feel lively.
I LIVED THAT DAY. I felt I was complete, I felt I was the one everything revolves around, I felt stronger and beautiful than ever. And the confidence boost I got from that was phenomenal, was exceptional.
The day I quit my job and started working from home was the day I decided to stand up against the stupid sad world I used to live in. The day I determined what my path was. The day I decided it was enough. The day which made me open my eyes and let me look into a story that was yet to be written. Which was yet to be heard and spoken about.
I always wanted to bring a change, and I know what I did is considered nothing. But I know how I did that. I know my journey. Nobody else does. I know how I came here, through the long way. Nobody else does. I know what were the hurdles which I had to cross. Nobody else does. And after coming through all those things and achieving what I really wanted was something like a dream come true. But you know, human is ungrateful. They don’t actually know what they really want, what they actually deserve. So, after getting what I wanted, I realized that this is not what I wanted in the first place.
I wanted success, but not with humiliation.
I wanted fame, but not with insult.
I wanted love, but not in a mean way.
I wanted to be good, but not by losing my originality.
But I was getting all the things which I wanted along with the thing that I didn’t want. And it was crumbling me up. It was making it difficult to breathe. It was turning me into a person I couldn’t recognize. Basically, it was killing me from the inside.
And what to do when you are gut-deep in a mess?
You QUIT!

But I guess you shouldn’t. you should take the story to a beautiful turn and leave it there. And that’s what I did. If I had quitted completely and left everything I between, everything would have become a wreck. So, I did what was important for everyone. I left the place, but I didn’t leave working and that’s how I roll.
I took my dignity and mental peace and my professionality and started my own thing with love and care and affection.
Now nobody treats me or my work badly. Now I love and cherish my work as it is supposed to be.
And now I am super proud of myself.
