I started this year with a life-changing decision. The decision I’d been wanting for years and the decision I’d been fearing for so long.
I’ve been wanting to quit a company job since I experienced working for a company for 2 years. I used to be very passionate about my job. Providing customer service and solving issues that others can’t.
Seriously, I’m very meticulous when it comes to solving customers issues. In fact, I’ve been getting a lot of feedback from customers about being the only person to resolve their issues after several phone calls.
Those feedback keeps me really going. However, due to a stressful work field, long hours of commute and changes on schedules, my health turned down on me.
Since then I always wanted to stay at home and work if possible. But there are always demons around us, making our confidence low and being doubtful about every possibility you can think of. And we also know that it is totally risky especially when you are a family provider.
What stopped me from quitting my job?
First of all, I totally believed that I am incompetent.
Being undergraduate makes me feel like I have no skills at all to offer as an online freelancer. And having that said I was always eaten by my lack of confidence.
I’m pretty sure that there’s a huge competition on the web that would make my no-degree self kicked off the market.
As a sole provider, I have no rights.
Well, I am the only one who works for my child(well back then I only had one child). I pay bills, rent, food, and all the expenses that you can think of.
Plus being sick of asthma, hyperthyroidism, alopecia, and gout is just worse.
Most of the months, I have to borrow money, until I finally decided just to quit my medications because it’s burying me on a pit of payables.
That lead me to absenteeism and caused me more burden because of unpaid sick leaves as well.
Lack of tools…

I been working remotely for awhile, the demons around me have mostly been other people. A lot of people only know the regular 9 to 5, and I never have people who get what I’m doing or understand the amount of work I put in, because I’m doing it from home. And for some, that might be their self; sometimes you do have to confront your fears. What I had to do, is sit down and really plan out how I’m doing succeed, working on growing myself. When you really put in all the necessary work, you will find that success, if it’s your area. And you have to remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
That’s true. It’s nice to work hard and build our own paths. But being a freelancer isn’t for everybody. People usually wanted to be a freelancer to chill without realizing that they would need to put a lot of work before getting to that point. Our home is quite toxic because we have 4 kids living here but the experience is like we have 10.
Anyways what I always believe is that struggle is part of life you just have to choose the struggle that you’d enjoy. So far gaming demons still summons me but I have been better in controlling them ??
