Another great post, Jeff! I relate to what you shared. I quit a government job twice.

I was tired of being that person who wasn’t happy but wasn’t willing to make a change.

I have no regrets about quitting. I got to spend a year abroad and it turns out my old office is closing this summer anyway.

A plan is key, as are other people. Maybe I’d encourage people to make sure other people are in their plan, too. My plan wasn’t so great, haha. But I had one. I’m surviving and I’m happier.
