I LOVE YOU ALL 🫶🏼 these comments are truly bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you for continuing stick with me and support me through all these ups and downs 🥹
Ps. Go on my Instagram story rn and submit ANY questions you have about my job, why I quit, future plans, etc! Filming a video on it today 💛
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥳🎉
I def know the feeling cuz I rejected a full time job offer for a prestigious firm I was interning at! It was the best decision ever, I switched my concentration and am pursuing a different career path that actually makes me happy!
Ik the same will happen for u!! ❤
I am NOT a firm believer in everything happens for a reason (sometimes bad stuff just happens)….but this was the right next step for you!! No regrets ❤mom
love you mom!
@@CoraShircel ❤️you more!
🥹 this is so sweet
Aww
Correct sometimes bad things just happen and not to sound cliche but it truly does make you stronger. It’s part of life’s roller coaster journey!
you should not be embarrassed!! you’re young and your first job isn’t meant to be your forever job! you should be proud of yourself for giving it a shot. you’ll find what your meant to do and where you’re meant to be when the time is right! I’m also 23 and in my first job post grad and don’t love it but I know it’s not my forever and this is just a stepping stone in life
you don't know how much this means to me! thank you and ILY
Just wanted to say I think it’s awesome you opened up about this. It’s clear it wasn’t easy for you to do but I think it was really strong of you to recognize that you weren’t doing well in that environment and made the hard decision to leave your job. It’s not easy being vulnerable like this but just wanted to tell you that it really helps others out a lot. Thanks for sharing Cora ❤️
thank you sooo much. genuinely this was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. i love you and appreciate you sticking with me through this chaotic journey
Coming from someone who has left multiple toxic work environments after sticking around for WAY too long… you did the right thing in leaving when you did! Do not feel embarrassed. Knowing that this wasn’t right for you this early on is a blessing! You will look back on it one day and think THANK GOD I left when I did!! Something better is coming babe, I promise. Everything always works out the way it is supposed to! ❤❤❤
thank you so much! this means a lot knowing other people have gone through the same thing and gotten through it!
You did the right thing, prioritising your happiness and mental health! Everything happens for a reason Better things are to come gal ❤
praying that better things are coming! in the mindset that everything happens for a reason
as someone who’s stuck with my first job post grad way longer than i should, this really gave me the motivation to do what i need to do to make me happy and move forward. sometimes it’s so tough to quit and feel like you’re failing or doing something wrong but if you know in your gut it’s not where you’re supposed to be then it’s not worth the stress!
I'm sorry you had such a miserable time, and I hope you begin feeling better! I am happy you spoke out about it though becasue I feel like a majority of RUclipsrs who have never had to work a "9-5" before I feel can be a bit out of touch with the reality of working in corporate/industry/trade work. It is hard, and it is demanding, and I could resonate so much with what you said! I am not trying to say social media/RUclips doesn't come with challenges of its own, but this video really made you so relatable and real. Again, I hope you begin to feel better! Proud of you for putting yourself first, not a failure!
genuinely the transition from college to a 9-5 is one of the hardest moments I think for a lot of people. it is tough physically and mentally! i have SO much respect for people who have been doing this for years and having this experience taught me SO much! i think having a corporate or regular job is draininggg and people who have never had one and may not every have one do not understand this huge struggle
Dear Cora, I’m sooo sorry your first job wasn’t what you thought it would be! Your mental health is what’s most important, so it sounds like this was a good decision 🥰😊 so proud of you for acknowledging your feelings!!
Cora you're amazing. Not everyone has the courage to open up like you do, especially publicly. Honestly, you don't need to tell us what really happened that made want to quit. You gotta do what's best for you because at the end of the day, the only person taking care of you is you. I really appreciate you for being so genuine in your videos, and not be scared of showing your lowest moments. Believe it or not, you're helping a lot of people (myself included) with this video, and I hope you keep being you. Thank you so much for sharing, you rock girl
I CLICKED SO FAST TO SEE IF YOU RE LYING OR NOT
I would NOT have clickbaited this hahaha this is fr
Cora, please take all my love and support♥ It's completely ok, AND you'll be fine! As I've watched your channel, I've seen how dedicated and disciplined you are, people like you always find a best way. It took time for me to find a best team for myself, I had to spend couple of years in toxic elderly environment, and I thought it will always be like this, but now I found a good place where everyone is kind and patient to eachother
I have been a recruiter for 6 plus years and I just started a new job working for a mental health company doing recruiting and the company/management was very unfortunate. I never wanted to be the person to give up but I just let them know it’s not for me TODAY and am resigning. I though about my mental health to and did not want to have it ruin my personal life ❤️
I needed this video! You got this!!!
So proud of you for being strong enough to quit!! Coming from personal experience it’s one of the hardest things 🫶🏼 thinking of you!!! ILY
Cora!! i had the same experience with my first job out of college-i was anxious to go in every day, and have never cried so much in my life over the stress and anxiety of the job i had… i quit after 7 months and it was the best decision for my mental health. don’t let anyone make you feel bad for taking care of YOU first 💛
Oh my gosh I am so sorry you had to go through that! Coming from a similar experience I am so glad you were strong enough to leave 💛💛💛 thank you for your kind words 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Cora!!! Thank you so much for sharing this.. You have no idea how much this actually helped me. I quit my job too for the same same same reasons as you. It wasnt making me happy, i was stressed allll the time, i wouldn't even sleep properly, i was unhappy all the time. It was too toxic, i fell sick all the time. Finally i decided to quit. Nothing is worth it if it doesnt make us happy. Its just not worth it. I have felt a guilt if i did the right thing. But after you posting this video. You literally have no idea, how at peace i was. Like someone else in this world was also going through the same as what i was going through. So gurl you have nothing to be embarrassed about. You keep going. Do what makes you happy. Even if you make the least amount of money. That should make you happy. Thanks gurl. Love from India.
It s gonna be ok Cora! We support you and want you to be happy❤
i love and appreciate you!
fuck being embarrassed and that toxic place cora! if your so mentally unstable because of a job it’s not worth it, happiness is important. we have our whole life to work!! hope you can open up about it more in the future 🫶🏼 we’re all rooting for you❤
Ahhh you are too kind 🥹🫶🏼 thank you so so much these comments are making me tear up with joy! Love our little family
What you should be embarrassed about is still supporting Starbucks and not being able to do the bare minimum when there’s a literal Genoside that the world knows abt, literally so disgusted
The exact thing happens to me in my first job as a teacher I was crying and I was feeling miserable and I just felt that I was just working working working and nothing else
You did the right thing! As someone who has left a job after crying daily, putting yourself first and prioritizing your happiness and mental health was 1000% the right decision!
Thank you so much!! I know I made the right decision but it is also so nice to have support as well 🥹💗 ILY!!!
Vocal-fry: annoying and very cringe. Crying on video, publicly, (but looks like fake crying) because you can't handle real life: cringe.
Paying for an over-priced Starbucks latte to show you're privileged: definitely cringe.
Why did RUclips recommend this video??
Me, commenting on something that really doesn't matter or affect me: MAJOR cringe!
I must not have a life: HUGE cringe!
There's not often we get to see this kind of honesty on social media. Cred to you! I understand that everything feels sad and uncertain at the moment. But I've no doubt that you will land on your feet. You're so talented at what you do and many more opportunities will come your way. See the experience as a step closer to knowing what want and don't want in a job. Take care!
Thank you so so much that genuinely means a lot to me especially during this struggle 😭 so thankful to have support because I was truly so scared to put this out there 💗 ILY
I went through the same thing last year. It is super common for the first job to not be right for you. I have been working really hard to not tie my success to my happiness, and that has really made a difference. Life is too short to stay in something that doesn't work for you.
i've been through the same thing. even getting something nice to eat afterwards. i did that too lol
everything you're feeling is valid. being in a toxic work environment is the worst and nothing is worth that. be patient with yourself. you're gonna be alright. there are better things coming your way.
Thank you so so much! It is nice to hear I am not alone even tho I am SO sorry you had to go through that. ILY 💗
I just turned 23 and also just graduated. Same thing happened to me! Same industry too. I only lasted a month and a half! It's so reassuring to know that I'm not alone in this post-grad struggle to find my place, while simultaneously navigating the corporate world and the uncertainty that comes with it. Wishing you all the best! On on bigger and better things :)
i quit my first corporate job after 6 months and knew after month 1. youll be ok! i was so embarrassed but it was fine. i was the same - crying daily lol
Ahhh this is so nice to hear! Although I am so so sorry you had to go through that it is really nice knowing I’m not alone 🫶🏼 wishing you the best of luck! Glad we are friends!
That is OK. Some people fail 5 or 6 times and maybe even 10 times before they even start figuring out life.
hey cora! i’m happy that you chose yourself over everything and ultimately made this hard decision 🥺 ik it’s not easy, but i think our 20s are supposed to be just that. it’s like we’re trying to be the adults we’re supposed to be, but we’re still confused on where we need to go. i hope other doors of opportunity open for you and ik you’ll find yourself on the right path whatever that may be! i’m always rooting for you
Definitely trying to have the mindset that this is what our 20s are for! To find ourselves haha 😅 thank you for writing such a sweet message you made my day 🫶🏼🥹
I quit about two weeks ago after working little over 2 months the mental and verbal abuse was not worth it
Haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanna tell you I love your channel and your energy so much ❤️❤️
I love you so much!! Thank you for sticking with me 🫶🏼 it means the world to me!
I can't express how important it is to see someone who shows her life as honest and raw as you (even when is only a small part) since it sets an incredible example for people who struggle with similar issues. It's great that you choose to quit instead of staying in a place where you don't feel comfortable and you definitely made the right choice at making your health your priority.
Hope you find something better ❤️
Omg, I literally had the EXACT SAME experience 8 months ago. Girl…DO NOT feel embarrassed. It is not worth your mental or physical health to get worked up over somewhere that will replace you in an instant. There is a reason why you were pushed to the extreme to make you quit. Something better is in the works. I am the happiest I have ever been with my current job. Don’t give in, better days are already here just by getting the actual act of turning your keys in. 🧡
You did what was best for you!! Nothing to be embarrassed about, not all opportunities will be the perfect match. We do want the tea tho😉🤭(if you ever wanna share). Can’t wait to watch this next chapter of yours❤️❤️
Thank you 💗💗💗 and yessss I may have to spill a little more in my next video hehe
I graduated with my masters in May 2022. Started my first job in July lasted until April next year (6 months). I quit that job without even a backup plan because I couldn’t handle being micromanaged and the lack of respect. My current job, I was basically told what I wanted hear. Been at my current position for almost 8 months and I’m not happy. Started feeling down and dreading work, crying almost everyday, lacking empathy and motivation for the last 3 months. But even before then I’ve started noticing the job I thought I would like, ended up not being that like 4 months after starting. My breaking point hit just recently so I’ve prepared a resignation letter just waiting for a new opportunity to be locked. My point is, it’s going to take a while to find what is for us. I think what’s great with our generation is not putting up with being unhappy, the lack of respect and so forth in jobs. We always know there is something out there and we are worth something and deserve respect. ❤
Dont be embarrassed. I’m 24 and ive had 3 jobs, including the one im at rn. They’re not forever. However, i know how you feel. One of those jobs i was depressed and just melancholy going to that job. I left and opportunities came left and right.
I was terribly bullied at my first corporate job ever, nothing is worth the stress and anxiety.
Hello sweet Cora, I just wanted to say when I was 22, I started my first job ever, and I quit after two months in it, I was so unhappy, feeling very depressed but I was so ashamed of what people we're gonna think about me. And I realized that, It doesn't matter what other people say, just be happy, be you, be free... you're an amazingggg girl, I'm sure you're going to feel so much relieve now that you quit. I wish you all the best
I'm quite a bit older than you, it's not as big as it feels right now and everything is gonna be ok. I know people who are on the rich list & could cash out, but still like to find ways to work daily because they need to have routine. I have other friends who earn peanuts and do what they love for a cause, some who have taken time out, others who just picked something and stuck with it until it started paying off. My other half quit a high paying office job to start his own business and do a physically exhausting job because otherwise he gets depressed. I work alone, as I play much better alone than with others. You'll find it, and as much as you might be worried right now, 23 is soo young, you could pick anything and have an abundance of time to find what that is and master it.
Cora!! I just stumbled across this video and remembered you from all the videos you did w "the boys" haha. I just recently quit my first job post-grad after about 4 months, and honestly I'm so relieved. When work starts to impinge on your own mental health and wellbeing it's time to move on! Onto the next big thing
I think it's amazing that you stuck it through that long. When I was 16 I got my first job. It sadly lasted three days before I quit. I was so overwhelmed at the time. I had an eating disorder, my cat wasn't doing well, and my grandpa had just died. Later on I was doing a bit better and I had prayed to God that I'd get a job. And I eventually got a job that brought me joy and made me feel fulfilled for that time. I pray that God helps you through this.❤
16 is different.
I just moved to a new city with my fiance and got a new job, 2 weeks in to the first new job I quit, the 2nd took 3 months to get and 2 months till I quit. Both times I was the same way. Unable to keep calm when having to go in. Finally my 3rd job is better but it's the one i left when I moved. So, it's not just you, life is HARD and taking care of your mental health is above everything else ✨️
Glad you are putting your happiness first! Plus you're gonna be happy you quit before the real winter commutes started with the freezing weather and snow LOL
Hahaha my thoughts exactly!! 😅💗
As someone with years of agency life experience, I can relate so bad. Unfortunately it’s pretty normal
Don't be embarrassed. About 2 years ago I quit a job after 3 months, I was making the most I ever had been, but I was so anxious and depressed every day that it wasn't worth it. I left for a job that was a decent pay cut, but my happiness was worth it. I had previously stayed in a job entirely too long that destroyed my mental health and I will never do that again.
you are young and have your whole life ahead of you. I had the same mindset as you and felt ashamed and thought I would never find my calling. I stayed at my toxic job for 2 years and finally had the courage to leave. You are brave to have jumped the gun and made this decision so early. I just started my dream job, in a completely different field than my field of study, at 28. You got this.
Cora this was so brave of you to make this big decision and quit your first job AND share it with us. I just want to say that if this job was making you unhappy than it was totally the right call to quit. You make the decisions for your life and no one else does so no one should be judging you for quitting. There are so many opportunities out there and you will find something that is perfect for you. I had 2 different jobs both were horrible and caused me so much grief and after that I had a time of unemployment which was honestly good for me to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. It's OKAY not to know what you want to do. Now I have an amazing job and I love it so much. You will find what works for you when the times is right. Don't stress about it because you've GOT THIS! I wish you all the best in figuring out what chapter is next for you. Love you!!!!
Oh my gosh thank you so so much 🥹 your comment brought tears of job to my eyes 😭 thank you for sticking with me and supporting my decisions it means the world 🌎💗
So glad you decided to share this ❤
Thank you ❤❤❤
There's absolutely nothing wrong with quitting if it made you feel this low!!!! If it's an option, maybe look into part-time offers that don't ask too much of you mentally!!! Im currently working in a library: no stresss and i truly never loved going to work more!!! But make sure to take care of yourself first ❤❤
Hey Cora, I was in a really similar position at my previous job. Ironically, I encountered some of the most toxic people in a childcare environment. I endured it for about a year before I finally spoke up to the management team. Whether it’s deciding to leave immediately or give a piece of your mind, standing up for yourself is so important. Cheers to recovering from shitty jobs! I know things will work out great for you! 💕
Cora! I'm 10 years older than you and have been there... I've even been there recently. There is nothing embarrassing about putting your well being first. No job is worth your peace of mind. You're full of resources (and I don't mean financial) and surrounded by people who seem to adore you. You'll bounce back so fast and find what's best for you, no doubt about it. You got this🙂
If anything this reflects more on your work and the environment they create for new hires than you!!! There’s so much pressure on post grads to get a job asap and it’s totally okay to realize that it’s not the job for you.
I did the same thing last week! Quit my job after 4 long miserable years 😭
Can you please explain the environment or the job that made me it so miserable so other people know signs to look for when deciding to move forward with a job
It is so amazing and so brave what you are doing! People say it is the most difficult thing to work hard and don’t “give up” on crazy routines but I think knowing when it is time to let something go is really the hardest… and also the bravest thing a person can ever do! Respecting yourself and moving on from things that just don’t contribute to your happiness is so so so so mature and amazing, I hope you realize that with time. In your past videos I kind of felt you a little bit off (I’ve been watching your videos since 2020 :)) and I am just excited to see this new chapter of your life and see your happiness and joy coming back because that is what you give to us every video, making our days better ❤️ Hope you feel better soon angel, lots of love from Brazil
Congrats on quitting! I’m sure it feels SOOO good now. My husband went through something similar and he didn’t want to quit so ended up sticking it out for a few years. But the anxiety and his mental health were so bad I kept telling him to quit and I was really glad when he finally did. If he would’ve quit right when things weren’t going well it would’ve saved him so much stress and he could’ve moved onto find something else that made him happy and if not that well at least didn’t make him anxious. Don’t be embarrassed at all! You do what’s best for you and don’t worry about what it looks like to other people. People will always have an opinion
So brave that you’re opening up about this! I think it may help a lot of people. And also you telling us you’re crying every day, makes me so upset. I hope you’re happier now! Do what makes you feel good! I’d be soooo thrilled if you’d do more RUclips etc! You’re the funniest, nicest, coolest person ever so I’d loooove more content🥰🥰
This is such a normal experience and sentiment! I'm 3 yrs post grad and I would say half my friend switched jobs within the first 1
yr. It's scary and feels so uncertain, but this is our time to figure out what we like, where we want to end up, etc. Happy for you for making this decision! Off to the next chapter
I definitely felt the same way you did, you described it so perfectly, almost felt like we were at the same job haha In the past everytime my job was about to start I started shaking and crying, not even a love interest has made me feel the way that job did, so I totally understand that it has been the worst experience you ever had. Funny thing is, I also lasted 3 months and I had that job when I was 23 as well hahah now I'm definitely at a better place, so this sort of things definitely happen! Anyways, so happy you quit! it is definitely something to celebrate!:)
Cora I am going to graduate this year and your video is making me believe that nothing is permanent❤️ your words mean more than you know, and thank you for putting your vulnerability out there for us to hear today.
Hi cora!! I'm also 23 and you just literally articulated everything that I've been feeling lately :') but trust the process it only gets better ❤❤
girly I just did the same thing after a year of being at the job. I know exactly how you feel I went through about every emotion you described having. I just started somewhere else and i’m already seeing a difference in my mood. Trust me you did the best thing for yourself!!! I’m proud of you for leaving and I’m proud of you for sharing it all with us!
Hey Cora. Thank you for sharing. I recently had sort of a similar situation especially with the whole not wanting to quit anything and feeling embarrassed about it when I decided to take a leave of absence for the semester from school. I’m proud of you for listening to your gut and doing what was best for you! You know yourself best and this is just one job. There’s many out there and the right one is there for you. Thank you for being transparent and sharing your experience and thoughts. It makes me feel understood. I hope you are well :)
omg do not be embarrassed girl! you have so many amazing qualities to offer and you will find the right path :) being honest with yourself and listening to your intuition is the most important step!
thank you so much! this means a lot to me
I love that you are sharing this! You are a true role model for many people and I love that you are honest about how you feel. I’m so proud of you and what you did even if you thought it was scary❤ My friend has been through a similar thing recently and she also felt the emotions that you share and she also felt it was the best decision she made when she finally quit the job
Thank you so so much you truly don’t know how much this means to me 🥹💗 genuinely tearing up reading alll of these kind messages. You guys are truly my besties 🫶🏼

Definitely NOT worth it!! Thank you for supporting me and my decision! Just you being here and watching my videos means so much and is the only reason I was able to quit and sustain myself living in chicago ❤❤ ILY & appreciate you!
What’s the app you use for the bus/trains
Shout out to you for being so fr ❤️ I can’t find a job either and I’ve been applying to over 100+ jobs post graduation. You got this girl
The job search is A STRUGGLE so I feel you on this 100% 😭 but take it from me and really be picky about what job you take!! It’s better to wait longer and find the right fit instead of jumping into something sometimes! I am thinking of you and hoping you have luck soon ✨🫶🏼
Hi cora, i just wanted to tell you how much i look forward to watching ur videos every thursday!! u make me smile! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🥹💗 your comment made me smile!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 11 months ago about self development. Now I have 2,110 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I can literally feel your anxiety at approaching your boss. You did it! 👍
Thank you Aunt Diane 🩷
Cora, it's too early to be too late. You'll have other opportunities
Thank you 💗💗💗
Proud of you!!!
Cora we need more information on the reasons please explain so we can avoid it as well!!
Go on my Instagram and submit questions on the question box on my story!! Filming a video today talking about everything ❤
This video is literally what I needed rn
It’s like the universe just wanted to lmk I’m not alone
I just quit my corporate job that I also stayed at for 3 months and it’s also my very first job after graduating uni and I was sitting in my bed overthinking
But I found this video and I feel very relieved now
I feel like a failure specially with my friends working similar jobs and staying
Thanks for sharing exactly how I feel!
26 going on 27 and I still am looking for my sign (lol) BUT! I find happiness in the other aspects of life while I take jobs that may not be my CALLING, but at least don't make me physically ill or upset. You're so talented, you've got so many things coming for you! We all can't wait to see!
Girl, you do what you need to do take care of yourself! You deserve happiness and fulfillment. Yeah, sometimes we have to push through, but sometimes shit is too much. I'm so proud of you for making this decision for yourself! This is part of your learning process, the guy who invented the lightbulb tried like 100 metals before he found the right one, chillax! Youre going to do amazing, love you bestie💗💗
We are so proud of you! We’re all here for you too no matter what happens with your career 🥰
i love you and appreciate you so much for sticking with me through this!!!
Sending hugs and love to you❤️ we watch because we are your friends, no matter what choice you make we support. Always girl! Been keeping up with you since you questioned your dad and his friend in the car. If you ever need a friend or support or anything always reach out to us! It’s all about who you know, and who knows you!❤️❤️ chase being young and living in the city! Show everyone what it’s like to live in Chicago! Mai Pham my did GREAT when she moved t New York! My sister lives in downtown and I just left there last year! People have no idea how amazing Chicago actually is! Goodluck girly, fuck corporate America lmao
I totally get you... I've been through something similar. What I learned from this is that the corporate world is not for me. I find that type of life miserable. I noticed I felt better in school and in the academic world, and I decided to accept (because it was something I denied myself) that I should be a teacher. The academic world is for me, and it might be for you, too. Sometimes, we think something is good for us, but we are wrong. Only testing it can truly prove that we aren't suitable for N, X, or Z. It is only knowing what we don't want, that we learn what we do want!
I graduate in Mass Communications next week with PR and literally cannot find a job. We’re gonna get through this👏
I totally relate. There is no shame at all!! For several years I worked in a great company, where I felt stressed and sad for many reasons. I resigned and very quick I was hired for the job I've always dreamed of. It was like a gift. Now I believe that everything happens for a reason. Put your happiness and your health above everything else! Life is too short to be sad. Love yourself. You is important!! I wish you the best and i believe that your opportunity is in your path!! ❤️❤️
So proud of you girl!! This will only make you stronger and into the independent woman that you are. You still have so much life ahead of you and the right job will come and it’ll make you appreciate it even more!! I’m 29 and have quit more jobs than I can count but I am happy where I am now!! Wishing all the good vibes 💜 love ya!!
Your feelings are completely valid. Good decision on quitting
Don’t be embarrassed. No job is worth being miserable. Something else will come up. And plus you got RUclips 🖤
in grade 11, i debated dropping bio for weeks because the atmosphere was so unbearable. my teacher, my classmates, the work, was not fit for me. i literally dreaded this class so much everyday and had grades that were so out of the ordinary for me. i ended up getting sick for like a week (probably as a result of the stress from this class) and i just felt like there was a mountain of work on top of me that i could not climb out of. i ended up sobbing and dropping the class. i cried and regretted it so badly and drafted an email BEGGING to be re-enrolled but i made a pros and cons list of the benefits of this class vs dropping it and it literally helped so much. i swear the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. i was so done. i don't regret it now. so many other options in the world; that one just wasn't it for me. honestly, good for you for recognizing that it wasn't right for you. that takes some strong personal insight and courage.
You did the absolute right thing in putting yourself first. Congrats on choosing yourself and your mental health! There will always be other jobs but there’s only one of you, embrace it and take care of yourself!
Cora babe, no need to be embarrassed or feel like a quitter! Like you said, something that brings you this much unhappiness and causes such demise on your emotional well-being, is not worth your time and energy. You only get one life, so it's important to listen to your heart and do what you feel is best for you. If you don't have your mental and emotional health, you have next to nothing. Stay strong and as Lauren Alaina once said, "show what you got and just own it - no, they can't tear you apart - If you trust your rebel heart, ride it into battle - don't be afraid, take the road less traveled." Sending love from Wisco💙
the part “ what do you wear to get ready to quit your job. dress to impress or give two f**ks.” i can’t wait to do this
I am so grateful you're sharing this story with the world. I feel so understood by your words. I am working as a teacher on a private high school and let me tell you that it's horrible. On one side, the school keeps pressuring me to be a different person of who I am and on the other side, students don't respect me only because I am young. Their behavior is only getting worse as the months pass by and I am feeling more and more angry and depressed. I have been crying every single day after class and I see no hope. I have devoted many years of my life working to get this job and now that I have it... I don't want it.
You're so brave and powerful. I hope you can get a job where you feel comfortable and happy. Cora, I send you a big hug from Spain!!
I quit my job this past summer because I was absolutely miserable. I enjoyed it at first, but conflicts with coworkers were making me so depressed and isolated. It was such a good decision, and it all worked out for me in the end- and it will for you too!
fellow Wisconsinite here! I love watching your videos and this one really touched me. I have been feeling really stressed about the future and I just wanted to say we are all so young its okay for us to not all be on the same path.
