I really love this. I have quit things before that I just knew weren’t right, I’ve never had a problem with that bit — but weirdly, after I’ve quit I sort of laugh it off to other people, as though quitting was a silly thing to do, even though I absolutely knew it was right for me.
Instead of standing up for my choices, I tend to use self-deprecation to justify why I’ve done it to the outside world, ‘oh you know me, can’t stick with that sort of job for long!’ or ‘Ah, I’m not really sure what I’m doing with my life.’ Even though I absolutely know what I’m doing and am making conscious decisions to pursue what I want!
How weird that I undermine my integrity like this…!
