I recently made a similar move and I'm scared. I felt stuck at a dead-end job and just let the contract end while I applied to new jobs. Moving and looking forward.
The first thing I want to say to you after reading this is: thank you.
Somehow, your message today came to me at exactly the right moment. That crucial moment where I realized I went from loving my work and brand to feeling trapped in it and hating everything I make. I've felt so lost and confused and *afraid* above all, the past few months.
It's always scary to abandon something that works, isn't it? But I think it would be a disservice to us as human beings if we continued to trap ourselves for the sake of keeping up the status quo.
So, I'm cheering you on. I know you can do what you set out to do. Maybe I can, too.

It IS scary, though ironically, from what I've seen and experienced, avoiding that fear is also what ends up costing us the most. Cheering you on too!
