Back to square one ..

Life is so full of surprises !!!

Dude, you're back to square one.. You are always too casual about life. You have a devil-may-care attitude that would ultimately prove to be your downfall. You are too relaxed and easy-going.

Oh, really? Is it so? But, I don't care. Not anymore.

I quit and that's all there's about it. No big deal. I'm still living. I'm prepared to believe the last 7 months were good to me. Every experience in life must be good. I have come to know more about my inner self. I am at peace with myself. And for that, I will always remain indebted to my previous employer. Dear Employer, you have made me realize that one has to listen to one's heart to proceed further in life. You have shown me the importance of taking control of my life. Yes, I have indeed taken control. I'm on my own!!

Feeling down and out? NO!!
Sad that you are no longer working? NO!!
Depressed and morose? NO!!
Missing the money and the corporate life? Definitely NO, a thousand times over!!

I'm no longer an employed person. Yes, I managed to cling on to my job for more than 7 months; but I couldn't take it anymore. I am not a sulking quitter;but I have made my decision.

People will start talking. They will, eventually. There will be post-mortems and funerals, there will be counseling sessions too. I needn't be concerned, it's my life anyways. I am not answerable to anyone. Ha, I don't have to report to any manager or team lead, whose smile is perhaps the most artificial and betraying expression ever. Nor will I have to live out a lie. A corporate lie. I just don't fit.

I had made a decision long back, after considering the very various pros and cons associated with it. My head ruled over my heart. Almost always.

Not any more though. I fully understand the significance of my decision and the responsibilities that come with it. I'm prepared. I'm confident of doing well. I will always follow my heart.
