Change. Force a change, good or bad.

I was in a comfortable but unfulfilling job, feeling unhappy without understanding why. I tried changing careers and seeking therapy, but nothing seemed to click. Frustrated, I applied for internal jobs and even lower-level positions out of boredom.

Eventually, I took an offer for a similar-paying role with more work but at a lower level. Initially, I regretted my decision with the new company and job politics. However, after a couple of months, my outlook improved and I began to enjoy my life again, even if my job wasn't necessarily better, I was happy to have made the change. And now I feel like I have control and can make a change for better when I want to.
