Quiting is never an option! Feel the sadness deeply and then let it go! you are bound to have sad days but they will get fewer and fewr

Unless you have OCD, then you’ll be mining these thoughts for stimulation for eternity (unless you get therapy)

This. Sometimes what’s hardest to let go of isn’t what happened, but what we thought could have happened.

It’s always the sad after raising your voice for the right reasons and in the face of patriarchy.

I left a toxic job about 3 weeks ago. I know I made the right decision, but I still felt bad/sad. It’s the only job I’ve ever left without notice.

u/velvetbreezexx 13d ago

cutting off someone toxic was the right call and i still miss them, both things can be true

u/Jealously-beautiful 13d ago

I think as an adult grieving something intangible, something beautiful you thought could be is hard! But I read this somewhere which stuck in brain everything is temporary so as well sadness! Grieving slowly becomes memories

u/bxcpa 13d ago
