Resignation - Afterthought

A few months ago, Lotti introduced me to an anime called "The King's Avatar". Now... I am not a fan of anime. I do watch them from time to time based on friend's recommendation but there wasn't an anime that I am such a huge fan of that I would rewatch again and again. But I did, for this particular one. For various reasons! The voice over for the main character is captivating. I love it. It revolves around gaming. Super relevant to me. Great plot with awesome morals to learn.

Not much explanation is needed for the content of this post. After struggling for 9 months, yes, I have submitted the letter.

Will I be able to deal with the uncertainties. Where am I going to head to after my last day of work? Can I handle what is about to come? Amidst these myriads of thoughts, I still come to the same conclusion that this wasn't a rash decision and it was a careful choice that I have decided on albeit not the smartest one that I could have made. Between money and sanity, I chose the latter. Together with my dignity.
