I decided to document this highly emotional journey from job-addiction to, hopefully, freedom and a place of thriving.
So, today, I drank three cups of coffee, discovered that I concurred, at least temporarily, my fear of saying no. Chiefly, because I am no longer desperate to be liked. I cancelled many plans, without feeling frustration. I bought a new notebook for my future job – it felt like a ritual. The notebook is sky-blue. I felt silenced and erased by my superiors and I cried, just once, after receiving a message full of love from a colleague.

Then, when the day was almost over, I saw this. Tu t’en sors bien – you’re making it. I’ve been smiling ever since.
