Last month I quit my job. Even though I had a fat salary and I was able to afford the luxuries I desired, I didn’t feel fulfilled there. I worked a 8am-5pm job with a Film Production outfit as a production coordinator, and though everyone thought I was living the dream life, inside I was sad. I would find myself constantly eyeing the actors and wishing I was in front of the camera rather than behind it.

I quit to switch from a Producer to an Actress. Imagine all that time I invested into learning about cameras and film making! Is all that wasted? Maybe not. Only time can tell.

It might feel like a few steps back, but right now I’m focused on making myself happy. It’s even funny how when I told my friends I quit my job they said “Oh thats good for you, you were never really happy there.”

Reading this article made me smile. Its not so bad to make a change in your life. Do what makes you happy and brings you fulfilment, even if it means taking a few steps back.
