Hey Besties! So I feel the need to pin this comment because people are commenting and creating their own narratives without fully watching the video.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...and while I do not regret MY decision or feel there is anything wrong with what I decided to do for ME... others may disagree. That is totally fine.. but one thing I NEED to make clear is I DID NOT QUIT MY JOB TO BECOME A YOUTUBER! I'm not sure where that narrative is coming from. If you actually watched my video you'd see I never said that. I actually work right now, just not at the job discussed in this video.

Secondly,
I'm not encouraging anyone to continuously quit their jobs or quit just because they've have a bad day. I'm merely reminding everyone that their happiness and peace of mind is worth something too. So if you end up quitting your job to protect your mental, then that's great too.

DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO FOR YOU AND NOONE ELSE! BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU ARE THE ONE WAKING UP DAILY AND WORKING THAT JOB.

A few yrs ago I relocated. I was taking any job that came my way. Because it was during the beginning of the pandemic. I was so miserable. Every job sucked and nothing matched my skills and experience. Someone told me “ oh u want a perfect job”. YES I DO!!! I wanted a job that was “perfect for me”. Don’t settle for less than what you deserve. If you are not happy at ur job look for a new one. Until u find what works for u. Because you are the only one that has to get up daily and go to that job.

I resigned yesterday without another job lined up because the current one was affecting my mental and now physical health. It’s scary but I have to choose myself and my health.
I pray peace and prosperity for all of us during these periods of transition. So happy everything worked out for you.

I wrote a letter 2 days ago and quit I didn’t put a notice in. The job was making me feel like I was drowning. It was so awful. I have nothing lined up. It’s pretty scary. But no amount of $ is worth losing your mental health.

Watching this after quitting on Friday. 🤭

[Rysngphnyx]

I am resonating with all of this… I’m planning to walk in my faith on 5/1/24 ❤ your message was confirmation, thank you

[erikajoan]

Going through right now. I have been wanting to quit for over year now and i make great money around 170k a year and when i tell people they tell me not quit and that God will give me a better job first and im single mom so i cant just quit but my mental is suffering so much i work from home and dread walking to my desk everyday

I was working in home care 7 days a week had to be there 24 hours but paid only for 12 the pay was decent but I started to hear the client calling me at night when she wasn’t smh! I resigned but been living off savings peace of my mind is better than health. I kinda am sad because I had nothing lined up and if I stayed I would of been up to 80k 80 thousand by May 4 more months of being locked up it would be a total of 1 year and 7 months but health over wealth 🤷🏽‍♀️plus bigger and better is in the way 💯

I relate so much and I'm at my breaking point. Glad you stood up for yourself and got up outta there!

[johntryl]

Definitely agree with the sentiment that you don't need to stay in a job where you aren't vibing with environment. Life is a little too short to wake up and live in misery, if there's a way to avoid it. Some situations in life are truly rough or are beyond our control, but when it comes to jobs, there's usually a way to seek something better if you're not happy in your current situation - good on you for prioritizing yourself and seeking a direction that will improve your overall happiness. I'm rooting for ya, yo. Keep grinding. Much love from canada

[RyanHolton]

[eyeamtok]

Proud of you, our stories are so similar it’s scary lol. Thank you for sharing your story 🥺

[learningtogetheredu]

I agree with you. Happiness is the greatest. I quit my job in December though I started the channel and it has been hard growing it I have been more happier

[ednamartinez]

I have the availability to change my schedule ( I work as a sub with children infant - preschool) and that’s the only reason I haven’t quit yet. I’m working 3 full days and that is because I’ve been struggling with health issues for some years until I was sick enough that I felt like dying. I’ve learned to take a break. I plan to have multiple sources of income and use try free days to earn extra money, start my own business, and for self care.

[Vaness]

Thanks for sharing. I am in the same boat and it is starting to affect my mental and physical health. I know I need to get out I get very bad anxiety come Sunday nights knowing I go back to work Monday. I just don’t know where to go and feeling confused about not having a backup.

[simplymelissa]

Hi. I think you are a very beautiful person. And I pray that you get nothing but blessings forever. Amen.

[filmmakingandthoughts]
