When it is time to leave...

I will be tendering my resignation by end of the month. As per plan for this year, my focus will be on self-development and pursuing my personal interests. I have been with the company for more than 7 years so there is a certain level of unbeliefs and the usual round of working an alternative when I preempt my director on my resignation.  But I have made up my mind; this year I will be 35 years old. I believe that the age is still not too old to try something different but is no longer young enough to wait another year. This year will mark the official change of my lifestyle.

Looking back, I have been working for the past 14 years since the day I got my diploma. While most of my classmates and friends have chosen to get a degree either part-time or full-time, I have thinking on how to earn more money. With lots of luck, I managed to get in favor with my direct supervisors and smoothly move upward to where I wanted to be. That is until now. I have a new thought. Here I am, comfortable creature of habits. Great job, good pay and enough savings to live comfortably. But where do these things lead me to? Am I really living? Or at least, am I happy?

Boring. It is the word that I would describe my life. Comfortable yet boring. But I never wanted to be a common hobbit. I craved an adventure…
