walking away from situations

the older i get, the more i‘ve realized that it’s okay to GTFO of situations that aren’t serving you. i’m not saying run or quit as soon as something gets hard, because challenges are how we grow and change. i’m saying listen to your intuition, find and follow your north star. you will know when it’s time. your workplace treating you badly or your job wearing you out? start looking for something else. in a relationship that’s toxic or that you can’t sparkle and thrive inside of? advocate for yourself and get out. your living situation bad for a myriad of reasons? start looking at your finances and figure out if you can move. all of this is to say, it is your life! be an active participant in it. i’ve quit jobs, apps, relationships, apartments, vices, etc. there is no shame in leaving the party early.

Leaving

the job, the relationship, the party, the situation, the country... Leaving is hard and staying gone is harder but you've gotta trust yourself 💖

LEAVING

My most recent example of misanthropy (love this word), the one that probed my Ex to label me as such over the phone, is my current chosen state of extended solitude. Over a month ago, during a bad night’s sleep, I woke up at 3AM and decided to pack a couple suitcases and get on the next flight out of LAX. I ended up in Mexico City, where I don’t know a soul and can’t speak the language. I just had an intense desire to be alone and away from (mostly) everyone I know. And now I’ve been here for weeks and weeks, completely alone outside of a couple short visits from some good and trusted friends. And so, what I would like to recommend to you is the act of leaving. Leaving everything behind you when you need to. And you probably need to or have needed to or will need to. So just do it, leave! Leave your home, the place you live, wherever it is, as often as you can, whenever the impulse strikes, if you have the lifestyle that offers you that privilege. Get on a plane, get in your car, rent a hotel. Go somewhere, anywhere, that makes you feel a little apprehensive at first, somewhere new that you’ve never been, or somewhere far away that you know well and that you love. Go to see others, or go to be alone, but go for longer than you think you should. If you try to think of reasons not to leave, you won’t, so don’t consider any of them, don’t think about it at all. You will never regret it. And if you can’t get on a plane and go to another country near or far, if you have a solid job like a normal decent person, or something seriously tethering you to one place… Then get up from whatever you are doing and go somewhere else. Start walking to a park or drive to some neighborhood you’re not familiar with and spend time alone there. Explore your unfamiliar surroundings. Just forge an escape plan, suddenly and without thought, whatever it is or whatever it looks like, and just do it….

trusting your intuition

You don’t need to suffer to prove that you’re a good person. You don’t have to stay with the job that makes you question yourself and you don’t have to keep dating that person you’re not quite clicking with. If something feels off then it probably is. I’m not advocating for immediately abandoning your responsibilities and throwing caution to the wind; but in our hearts we know when something is working and when it isn’t. That thing called intuition is your soul, and you can trust it.
