Excerpt from You're Leaving When?
"I was sitting in my cubicle, staring at my computer screen, when the email arrived. It was from my boss, and it said, 'We need to talk.' My heart sank. I had been with the company for five years, and I had always been a top performer. But lately, I had been feeling restless. I was tired of the long hours, the constant pressure, and the lack of fulfillment. I knew that I needed a change, but I didn't know what that change would be."
"I went to my boss's office, and he told me that the company was downsizing and that my position was being eliminated. I was shocked and devastated. I had never been fired before, and I didn't know what I was going to do."
"I went home and cried. I didn't know what I was going to do. I had a mortgage to pay, and I didn't have any savings. I felt like a failure."
"But then, something inside me snapped. I realized that this was an opportunity for me to finally make a change. I had always dreamed of traveling the world and living off the grid. But I had always been too afraid to take the leap."
"So I decided to do it. I sold my apartment, bought a van, and hit the road. I didn't know where I was going or how I was going to make a living. But I knew that I had to follow my dream."
