Hi Shani,
I started tearing up reading your story. The whole story from studying fashion design, the exciting first years in the fashion world, city life and then finding out it’s not where you want to be.
I also studied fashion design and worked as a designer for 4 years in New York City. I’m sure you know what it’s like!! About 2 months ago, I did the same and quit my job. I needed to get away from the toxic work environment even though everyone was telling me I was living the “dream”.
I booked a flight to Milan as my birthday gift to myself and I traveled all over Italy for a month and half. Now I’m back at my parents house studying new programs and learning new skills to get back out to the real world.
Your story gave me more confidence that I’m doing the right thing.
Thank you!!
