It’s funny, as I was reading the story of your friend, I found a lot of myself in it (minus the second job)… or at least the way I was up until 5-6 years ago, when I somehow convinced myself that I should “settle down”, adapt to the situations I’m given, and stop being so opinionated all the time.

So I stuck around with the same job that I didn’t like, only because it was good enough, decent pay, and more stable than previous ones.

Long story short, after years of going through cycles of severe unhappiness, almost like depression, I finally decided to just quit my job, without any fallback.

That was the best decision ever. I have never been so happy and at peace with the world.

I hope your friend never makes the same mistake by listening to the “wisdom” of others.
