Life is a labyrinth of choices, and each one we make can lead us down a vastly different path.

For years, I found myself entangled in a web of responsibilities as a part-time waitress at a local restaurant.

The clattering dishes, impatient customers, and long hours became the rhythm of my life, but deep within, a yearning for something more profound beckoned me.

This is the heartfelt and personal story of why I chose to relinquish my role as a waitress and venture into the world of writing on Medium.

As a waitress, my days were a blur of hurried footsteps, constant noise, and aching feet. The restaurant became my second home, and I dutifully served countless plates of food, masking my aspirations beneath a cheerful smile. However, when the dinner rush subsided, I would steal fleeting moments to jot down snippets of thoughts and stories.

In those quiet interludes, my creative spirit soared, longing to break free from the monotonous routine of serving meals. I dreamt of a life where I could trade in my notepad for a keyboard and write to my heart’s content, sharing my stories with the world.
