One thing I think is really important to share, is that since I made the decision last April to be a freelance writer, I no longer suffer.

The closest to suffering I’ve come was several weeks ago when I looked through the want ads. Now I know better than to go back.

I suffered all those years I was in a job I hated and a field I had no passion for. I suffered when I chose to be something I wasn’t for reasons I didn’t believe in. I suffered every one of those days, but not anymore.

Sometimes there are moments when I’m filled with self doubt and all my inspiration has run dry and I’m left wondering what to do. I still have fears and insecurities and sometimes I still double guess myself. Some days are harder than others, but there biggest difference between now and then is that now there is no suffering.

That, is important to know.
