It's a year today that I handed in my resignation letter.
I've decided to leave and pursue a dream: a solo trip backapacking... wandering around the world (or just around a part of it).
For that to become a reality I had to leave my job, hand in my notice. It was the first time I ahd to do it. So far I had only had temporary contracts therefore I knew when I owuld leave the job before I even started it. But this time was different. This time I was the one deciding when to leave. And after 4 years at the same job and company I was ready (phsycological and financially) to leave.
I can't really say it was a hard decision. I was dying to go. But a year ago I was feeling a bit nervous and anxious to hand in my notice.
What a silliness. I couldn't have imagine a better reaction from my managers and fellow collegues. I believe some where more excited with my trip and my courage (they said it) than me. It was interesting to realize there were so many people carrying the same dream as me. I've heard so many times: "I wish I could do that too", "if I had a different age I would go too without looking back", "I wish I had your corage!". Their words inspired me and gave me an extra motivation!
A year ago I was so happy.
Happy and a bit scared at the same time. Now that I've handed in my notice this dream was becoming a reality. I really have to go... Will I be able to?? I have to. Now I really have to and there's no looking back.
I wanted to celebrate. I needed to celebrate it. But I had no one to celebrate it with. A year ago this was still a "secret". My boss knew about it but it hadn't been communicated to the rest of the company yet. I couldn't share my happiness yet. So, preparing myself for my solo backpacking trip I bought some pints and celebrate it with myself, cheers to me and to my next adventure!
