the events that led to this burst of happiness

I resigned from my job. This has been a dream of mine for the longest time. The amount of strife I have to endure at work has become unbearable. The only thing that kept me there was I had to earn a living; also, the benefits that go with 2 years worth of tenurity. You don't really want to bit*h and moan too much about work, because at the very essence of it, goes that work enables you to earn a livelihood. It allows you to pay the bills, it puts food on the table, it lets parents send their children to school; it also gives children the opportunity to give back to their parents by reversing the role of who brings home the dough! Besides, I don't think work was ever intended to be easy, that's why it's called work, and not going shopping hahaha! - maybe, it becomes a little easier if the work you do involves something that you love, or if you learn to love your work!

Anyway, the decision I made wasn't taken lightly; to put it simply I just couldn't do it anymore. I've become physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually drained. You never want to reach a point where you don't have anything left to give. I think many a- melt-downs happen this way. I was seconds away from it too! Luckily, I had sense enough to recognize when enough was enough.

Pretty soon I have to start working again, but just for this brief moment in time... Let me enjoy this...freedom. :)
