Comments on: Knowing When to Quit http://almostbohemian.com/quit/ A Life Examined with Little Convention Sat, 11 May 2013 16:24:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: David http://almostbohemian.com/quit/#comment-2717 David Mon, 07 Jan 2013 06:19:14 +0000 http://almostbohemian.com/?p=774#comment-2717 Good for you. I just quit my job 2 weeks ago. If I hadn’t done it already this post would have inspired me to go ahead and do it. But it has at least made me realize I made the right decision.

But it’s enough for me. I’d be happy to entertain side gigs, but who knows? I’m in a simple pursuit to just live life.

Good for you, as I always say, nothing is definite, you can always go back and get a job when money runs out.
The most interesting thing, however, is to read your blog posts from now on. It’s gonna be fun to read them.
I’m curious, what you gonna live on? Savings? Or small gigs?
I am so curious;)
Good winds in your adventures. Give me a shout when you starve, I might PayPal you some spare change;)
Derek

I am in two minds about the Mark Twain story, because I would rather plug on at something that makes me happy even if it’s chances of being commercially viable were slim. But I suppose that is the difference – he lost his wit so he wasn’t happy.

Okay, I’m not in two minds and he should have reviewed the situation every so often, which I always do.
Welcome to the ‘free’ world.

Congratulations to a new start on whatever it may be that you’re about to take on.

As for the bits of stories and facts, I just save when I find interesting and try to figure out why I like it so much. Then, (hopefully) I can tie it into something relevant to my life.

Alright, well here’s to better more exciting lives and perhaps becoming a real writer one day :)
