I’m sitting at my desk, staring at the same screen, in the same chair, doing the same work I’ve been doing for years.
I’m tired. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. It’s the kind that sinks into your bones. The kind that comes from knowing you’ve outgrown your role, but you’re too afraid to leave.
Some days, I fantasize about quitting. Just walking away. Submitting that resignation letter and starting over.
But reality reminds me: I have bills. Commitments. Debt. And no solid backup plan.
The fear is real.
Not dramatic. Not exaggerated. Just quietly, overwhelmingly real.
But here’s the thing no one tells you: comfort zones can kill you slowly.
Not with fire. With routine. With predictability. With the slow erosion of passion and purpose.
I’ve been stuck in this in-between.
Too scared to leave. Too drained to stay.
Hoping that if I wait long enough, something will change for me.
But maybe I’ve waited long enough.
So no, I didn’t quit today.
But I did write this.
And maybe that’s the first sign I’m waking up.
My 6-Month Exit Plan
I’m giving myself six months to find out who I could become—without this job weighing me down.
No excuses. No more waiting.
- Write and sell an eBook
Something real. Something useful. Something that helps others avoid the same traps I fell into. - Learn new skills
I’m going all in on data analytics. A career that challenges me, sharpens me, and offers a future beyond clocking in and out. - Become a content creator—with purpose
Not brain-rot. Not trend-chasing. I want to build content that wakes people up, not numbs them out. Content that matters.
I don’t know how this ends.
But I know how it starts.
Right here. With this post.
Let’s see what happens next.
