I’ve been keeping this quiet for the last couple of weeks and I wasn’t going to say anything until the end of the month. But I think it’s best to tie up any loose ends now because things are going to be moving very quickly.
For 2 weeks I asked God, I asked my parents, and I asked my friends for their input on the huge decision that I’m about to make. And finally, after much deliberation and soul-searching, I’ve decided that I’m going to go for it.
I’m planning to leave the country next month for work opportunities abroad. After I finish my last few client projects, I’m going to close up my little shop.
It’s pretty heart-breaking since it’s been a struggle to start it up in the first place but I know this is a good business decision as well. I feel like my technical skills and creativity are stagnating here. I need to get out of my box, try new things, live in a new place. I’ll save up and soak in as much as I can while I’m away, and I hope to come back in a few years better for it.
I won’t announce the details yet but what I can say for sure is that I will be flying out at the beginning of April. Before then, I’ll be selling off many of my things for really cheap, so keep an eye out for my personal garage sale very soon.
I wish I could visit my Manila friends before I leave but I need every peso for my trip. 🙁
I will miss you all so much.
