Today I lost my job. I’m 22, and until today I’ve been working in the same place for almost 6 years. It was a nice working environment (a NYC nightclub), it was okay pay, I didn’t hate all of my coworkers, and I got free booze. I felt so comfortable there, but I also felt so trapped. I don’t think I could have brought myself to quit, since I felt so attached to the job. I was way overqualified for the job, but I just couldn’t let it go. It is a good thing they won’t be needing me anymore, because I’m not sure I would have left on my own. I feel so free now to explore what else is out there. Goodbye, old sweet friend. You shall be missed, but not for long. 
Hey! Good luck. Some of my best experiences/opportunities occurred after leaving a job.
