I Quit My Job To Become A Painter And It Was The Best Decision Ever

ADVERTISEMENT

I’ve always loved painting, it was always my passion. But I had been taught that painting could never be a “Real Job” so for many years painting was left aside as a hobby.

One day I just woke up and decided to take that scary scary scaaaryyy plunge and quit my job and live my dream. I was at a point in my life in which I had been changing jobs a lot because I got easily bored and frustrated; that made me feel really bad about myself, I felt guilty, sad and I honestly felt I was the one with a problem, and I was in a way because I kept convincing myself that was where I was supposed to be even if I was not happy.

It was at that point I knew I had to do something or I would become bitter and just disillusioned with my life and I couldn’t allow that to happen. It was super scary at first, because I have children and a family and my income was important for us, but my husband was a great support in making my decision and in the end it was the best decision I ever made. I am so happy now, every day is a blessing for me since I paint full time.
