10 Days From Being Jobless

So I'm officially 10 days away from being unemployed. No money coming in, no stable income. I quit my job about two and a half months back.

And so I have been mentally preparing for this moment well beyond the last 12 months. I have been working towards this direction behind the scenes since January 2025. And now we are in May 2026.

And so it's both scary and exciting at the same time. Scary, obviously — I don't have any money coming in.

But a lot of what I have observed and experienced in the last 12 to 18 months has in my mind come true, in the sense that I feel like there is an urgent call to action to do something about the changes that are happening with society right now.

I simply cannot stand by and do nothing and hope for the best, because I feel like there is just little to no control if I just continue doing the same thing.

I could easily find another job. I could easily look for another role. But it would just really be the same thing — if the CEO of a company can get dismissed just like that, what chance do we have in this world right now?

And there are just so many important topics that I don't think are being discussed enough about society and where things are going. And I simply can't do any of that if I'm tied to a business which I'm ultimately not accountable for. And I don't represent everyone in that business.

And so for me, this is not about money. It's everything about taking back control of what little control I feel like we have left in life.

And that's where the exciting part is — just the ability to be able to speak out loud and say things that people wouldn't be able to say because they're just stuck in this position of a rat race, which is the reality of everyone around me.

It's a sad situation, but hopefully, looking back, I've made some positive impact to society. And that's my hope.
