3 Years Later, I Still Don't Regret Quitting My Job

Three years ago, I walked out of the Hearst Tower for the last time. I spent almost 9 years at HarpersBazaar.com, working my way up from a full-time freelance editor to the Special Projects Director. There was so much uncertainty ahead of me when I left—but for once, I was excited about this unknown path. I had this feeling that my life was going to change in a big way, something was coming, but I didn't know exactly how or when. I just knew it was time to bet on myself because I had outgrown my 9-to-5. It no longer felt like a supportive environment; it felt restricting and suffocating. I couldn't be as expansive as I knew myself to be. So, for the first time, I would get to mold how I wanted my life to look and feel.
