One of my girlfriends came over and posed a question she had read from her daily scroll of Instagram: "What would you pursue without social media?"

As social media has been proven to be one of the top business tools and career options, it has become more pressuring to rely on beyond just popularity, connecting with others, and posting your daily life.

But, sometimes I wonder if it takes away more than it adds to our life in terms of career opportunities.

Removing myself from everything I built, always knew, and defined myself as, to live abroad, doing something I've never done, taught me a few things that has made me more grounded than I've ever been.

They are things that I really wish everyone gets a chance to realize in this lifetime. Because life is too short, and too long.

So, I quit my job today. Normally, people would wait this out and blog about it after successfully launching a million dollar gig overnight of some sort.

I don't have any of that. And although that would be an awesome, glorified story of "Why Quitting My Job Was The Best Thing That Happened To Me," life isn't always made up of those moments.

Moments like these, that are dark and raw, and absolutely unknown, are the real everyday struggles that build up those stories.
