I'm quitting my job tomorrow to pursue my art
I have been miserable at my job for months now. I sincerely believe that I am not the right fit for the job and the job is not the right fit for me. My real passion is art and drawing comics, so I'm quitting my full-time job and picking up a small part time gig downtown so that I can focus on producing my online comic and getting it up and running. My family is telling me it's a horrible idea, and maybe it is, but more than anything I'm terrified of never giving it a shot and never trying. But I realize that it's not the most economic decision and I'm shaking with fear. Into the abyss we go.
TL;DR - Op not letting their dreams be dreams

Really not looking forward to my boss' reaction in the morning.

Get fired so that you can get unemployment during the transition.

Regrets are fashioned of what we don't do.

It will be an uphill battle but keeping a job is smart. It can be incredibly rewarding & it´ll be a whole lot of work. DO IT!! u can pm me

The ones who changed the world were the ones who quit their jobs. Your fear is your limitless strength. I wish you goodluck.

Walking out the door and into the unknown beats the hell out of jumping out the window.

If regret and "what if" is scarier to you than failure, then you'll always succeed, eventually. If nothing else you'll live interestingly.

Why not work fulltime and in your spare time work on art? @op was your job that bad?
MrIngo
Working on a full comic, writing, story boarding, drawing and all, is veeery time consuming. Not to mention my creativity 1/2
MrIngo
Has basically been shot to hell with my being so emotionally and energetically drained from my job. Plus I am just not happy there. 2/2
