There’s a time you just have to say fuck it.

Nothing is safe, and nothing is for certain.

I’ve spent way too much of my life not being authentic—hiding in jobs that I hate because they seem to be “secure.”

But experience has shown me that nothing is really secure.

We just got told this morning that my boss no longer works for the company.

I’m not sure, but the evidence points to her being let go.

It came out of left field for everybody.

Nothing is secure.

If there’s risk and uncertainty no matter what, why not go for what I want?

Even when I’m not exactly sure what that is.

I just know that it’s not what I’m doing—working for somebody else in a job that I hate or that doesn’t mean anything to me.

Even if I fail or it takes a long time to succeed, it doesn’t really matter.

There’s a renewed hope in just saying “fuck it” and making the decision to try anyway.

It’s definitely frightening.

I can’t lie and say that I’m full of confidence.

But I am certain about where I don’t want to be and the kind of life that I don’t want.

I’m pretty certain about where I want to be and the kind of life I do want.

But even though that’s not 100% crystal clear, I definitely know what I’m moving away from.

Sometimes, you just have to say fuck it.
