I’m 51, married, with adulting bills including mortgage, and a prisoner of my corporate job and wanting to be full time artist. How?!?

Did you fall ass-backwards into money?

Loveeee this videoooo! 💌🧸☁️

Your video is so comforting. I grew up in the bay and moved away for work. Your cinematography and reflections capture so much of what I am feeling in my current job and also the feeling of home. Thank you so much :')

Hi Cecilia! I’m new to your channel, but instantly resonated and subscribed :’) thank you so much for sharing your experiences, your feelings, and your thoughts. You have a true gift of writing, and there is so much poetry, so much power, and so much poignancy to what you say. I just found your videos tonight after searching “quitting my job” on KZfaq (trying to gain courage and wisdom from people on the internet with no tangible connection to me, yet somehow understand and went through my same struggles. I guess we’re all a little connected like that, haha.) I binged your trilogy on quitting your job, and your words brought me a lot of peace and perspective. Thank you so much for inspiring me to finally take that leap of faith and leave my current toxic job that I’ve been wanting to cut out of my life since last year. Best wishes on your next chapter, I know it’ll be a beautiful one! ❤️

This was beautiful. I’m thinking of doing the same. What do you do for health insurance?

I can't stop crying watching this. There is nothing I want more in this life than to quit my stressful corporate job I've been doing for 10 years. This video has inspired me so much to start setting my plan on how to do it. I'm gonna need some savings and lil bit of courage and I'll be there 😊

Needed this so much. I'm 23 and quit corporate. I was thinking if I made the wrong choice and if I should have followed the rat race. But this video poured life back into me. Need so much more people like this who are able to trust their intuition and not have enough guts to leave a place which is soul sucking to them. This will help to quit the rat race and live! Thank you so much. loved the captions ❤

Can you say the specific resources to download textbooks? It makes sense to wait and ask the instructor on the first day if the textbook is even necessary.

Randomly clicked this recommended video (prob b/c i been watching muji things). the things you're drawing at the 7:30 mark are ginkgo leaves!

does anyone know where her necklace is from?

Hell yeahhh this is an awesome video, tysm

This is beautiful

This is THE ONLY video I needed ❤🙏🏽

Great video

I literally cried watching this video because it was just what I needed and was the answer to the question I had. Thank you for being you!

I loved this ❤

Oh the way you make these videos….. so poetic… truly touched my heart❤

Great video, I recently quit my job.

Such a gifted writer and author. Very skillful in your craft! Good luck in your endeavors

"I'm nobody and everybody, depending on how I'm feeling" - so accurate

Your writing is amazing! I love this video. Do you have any advice to be a better writer?

Great vid hope you the best in your journey

I recently left my first job and ur videos have been of so much comfort to me in recent months as I figure out who I am, so thank you x

this is incredible- i'm so in awe of all you do

Kudos to your hard choices

I needed to hear this, thank you so much Cecilia. I'm 41 and on the brink of quitting my job to follow my dreams and be financially independent, this video will be my soundtrack from now onwards and will listen to it weekly. You have a gift indeed, stay blessed.

beautiful, I needed this!

name's chris, im 30. im quitting the job in my hometown and moving to a city a couple hours over. austin tx. got a job lined up, will be living out my car for awhile. kinda crazy, but my soul's calling for it. took me years to pull the trigger, but i found myself back on this path time after time. id back out, out of fear. but i'm going in this week. you said something in the video about operating out of fear, and it resonated. hope all is well w you now!

Wonderful my dear

This was so beautiful to watch, I looked for videos to get inspired and this certainly did the trick. Thank you for this :')

Lmao I almost got arrested at the exact bench you're sitting on in the arboretum for smoking weed. I lived in Spencer

34, IT manager. Your video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

Hi, could you please comment on Kenan-Flagler as well?

your words are so beautifully written - love this so much!

I love your video. It sounds like a poetry where a person is trying to find himself/herself. Also, the music makes it much more great and pleasant.

this touched my soul, you talking about gaining your senses again... god damn. I want this...

Hey cecilia would you share please how do you finance you bills now ?😊

“Grinning” 😁

I am currently a graduating marketing student. I really dont like the idea of having a 9-5 job, I experienced it during my internship and I really feel like I am dying, I typically can only function in certain times of the day and more or less accomplish 1-2 tasks for that day. I also have adhd therefore I create some work that arent from my current tasks just to supplement my brain for some dopamine. Is it really okay to think like this, to go independent after graduating? or should I just dive in to the 9-5 until I burn my soul off?

Needed this

JESUS IS ONLY PEACE THAN THE WORLD CAN GIVE .GOD BLESS YOU .

ah yes the fury and dreaminess of being 23, let me tell you, you will probably still feel the same at 40. No one knows what they are doing, every one is just winging it. Including the billionaires. It's not like anyone has ever lived twice.

great words! @1:48 recognize *its own face

I'm 45 a I finally quit my job and will be starting my own business! So freeing and exciting! Took me a lot of years and crying to make the decision, but my biggest fear is having to go back yo corporate world. I have 20 more years to work, I cannot spend them in a corporate job , feeling like a slave. I would rather work as a waitress. But I will work on my business - accounting services. I will be the one to make my schedule and I will take time for making sports outside everyday, watching the nature, gardening, and I will decide when I go on vacation, not when my boss lets me go.

Help! I feel like I'm starting losing my mind. I quit my last job since it was a disaster. And now I'm in the new one and it is even worse. The anxiety and depression I've had since the last job got even more stack up wit the new ones. I was so good at my job and I was thriving back in 2021. Now, I often do mistakes at my work and then my boss starting to annoy me. Then I got anxious and do more mistakes. And it becomes a never ending spiral and now my boss seems to hate me. I end up anxious and depress now. I tried therapy and still can't happy. Because of what happen in lately, I also lost my 2 best friends. I don't even know what is happening to me. I have no wins. not even a tiny one.

Your words and visuals are soul reaching. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

in my 20s. quit everything. Dropped out of school. Started this channel and reflecting on the same things you are. ❤❤ (fyi if you’re in your 20s and also navigating life - would love to see you around).
