Freedom!

“If you trade security for freedom, then you start living” - Paulo Coelho
It’s been a lil over a month now since I let go of my security blanket of a day job, in exchange for freedom to spend my time on projects that I want to work on, and become independent of corporate America. And just like the quote from Paulo Coelho, I do feel like I’ve started living. I wake up happy, and rested, and confident that I made the right decision. Financially, there’s more pressure to keep the overdraft fees at bay, which sucks.
Also, I’m adjusting to this new schedule, and realizing that I don’t have to “work” from 9-5, Mon-Fri. I choose my schedule, my Monday night, might be someone else’s Friday, and working on a Saturday afternoon, isn’t so bad when I already cleaned the house Thursday afternoon. Time becomes abstract, and unlearning the schedule ingrained into society is an interesting challenge to take on.
With my 30th New Year around the corner, these next few months will take on the script of a suspense thriller. I’m not sure how it’s going to end, but I do know I’m just getting started…
