A Blind Leap

Internet, I quit my job.

Yeah, I know. It’s a recession. And yeah, I know, I’m a little strapped for cash.  And yeah, I know I’m still in school. I know, it’s a risk, and it’s scary, and it might be a little foolish… but I did it.

It’s a surreal experience to cut oneself off from what is basically their only source of monetary lifeblood.

I don’t know how I’m going to be putting food on my plate, gas in my car or a roof over my head two weeks from now, and that kind of freaks me out.  I just know that whatever happens, it will be something awesome and fulfilling that allows me to stretch myself as a person.

Here’s to new adventures!

    “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,
    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.
    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.”
    - Robert Frost

    Congrats on taking the path less traveled! All will be well.

    Way to be brave enough to burn the ships! I’m proud of you and only wish I had the courage to do the same. I’m bound by my golden handcuffs until I muster up enough courage to quit my job too. Just curious- what new adventures do you plan on taking on?

    OrangeSoda is overrated anyways.

    Just kidding, I actually love and miss that place. But good luck on the living without it thing.
