I can't make up my mind
I wonder what would happen if I quit my job. Just stopped coming and said I didn't feel like working here anymore. I can't say I have any good reason in particular to feel this way, but sometimes I just want to run away in general. Of course I can't because my husband and baby rely on me to bring home money to pay bills, buy food, etc. But what if....
Now, where I come from, people do this all the time - and by where I come from I mean the world of seasonal employment. For some reason, it's perfectly acceptable to change your life course every 6mos in this community. No one holds you to your own ambitions or tries to guilt you into being responsible. Unless you owe someone money(and sometimes not even then), people in this circle generally applaud your free spirit. Somehow, I feel like this is not how an announcment of quitting would be viewed in the world of normal people for that matter.
Let me be clear - there's nothing wrong with my job really. It's fairly easy, and I get paid well for it. But the time required for something that is so inconsequential to the world in general shouldn't have such a hold over me. Why is money so important?
The other problem with being an indecisive person that is also highly proned to changing their mind entirely, is that is often viewed as a mental health defect. I'm sorry, but from where I stand, there's nothing unhealthy about wanting to float away on a river without really considering coming back. This doesn't mean I don't love my husband, my son or my family - or that I would want to leave them behind. I love them dearly, and I couldn't imagine my life without them. It doesn't indicate that I am ungrateful or unhappy. Sometimes I just don't want to worry about money, social tact or waking up in the morning. I would prefer to stay in my dreams just a little longer.
