The post-90s generation resigned from an annual salary of 600,000 yuan and pursued their own journey: the more they played, the more exciting they became
At the crossroads of my life, I, a standard post-90s generation, made a decision that made people around me jaw-dropping - to give up a stable job with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan and embark on a naked journey. This is not only a challenge to life, but also a profound exploration of self. This seemingly adventurous journey allowed me to find unprecedented peace and freedom, and the more I played, the more I found myself.
"Have you really figured it out? This is a job with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan! Friend Xiao Li's brows tightened, and his tone was full of worry. I smiled and nodded, and said firmly, "Yes, I've thought about it." I needed to change, I needed to find my true self. Xiao Li sighed and patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, since you have decided, then I wish you a smooth journey." ”
I packed my bags and set out on this journey into the unknown. Along the way, I met all kinds of people and heard all kinds of stories. These experiences have made me reflect on my life and work, and have also given me a deeper understanding of life.
By chance, I got acquainted with a backpacker named Brother Zhang. He is a middle-aged man with the vicissitudes of time written on his face. We sat in a tavern and chatted over drinks. Brother Zhang told me that he used to be a high-paid white-collar worker, but the long-term workplace pressure made him physically and mentally exhausted. So, he chose to resign naked and use travel to heal himself.
"And how are you feeling now?" I asked curiously. Brother Zhang smiled and said, "Now I feel very good. Without the constraints of work, I can travel as much as I want and experience the beauty of this world. Although the income is unstable, my soul is greatly satisfied. ”
After listening to Brother Zhang's words, I was deeply touched. Yes, we are always in pursuit of material satisfaction, but we often neglect the needs of our hearts. Sometimes, letting go of all constraints and pursuing what you really like may be the greatest meaning of life.
For the rest of my journey, I kept trying new things and challenging myself. I climbed to the top of the mountain and felt the magnificence of nature; I dived into the deep sea and explored the mysterious underwater world; I also participated in the local cultural festival and felt the customs of different ethnic groups. These experiences have strengthened my conviction that I made the right choice.
However, the journey was not all smooth sailing. Sometimes I feel lonely and lost, and I don't know what to do with the road ahead. But every time this happens, I think of Brother Zhang's words: "Life is like a journey, sometimes you need to stop and look at the scenery, and sometimes you need to take that step bravely." So, I picked myself up and moved on.
During my travels, I also made a lot of like-minded friends. Together, we share each other's stories and experiences, encouraging and supporting each other. These friendships have made me feel warm and empowered, and they have also made me more determined to walk on my own path.
After a period of traveling, I gradually found myself. I began to understand what I really liked and found my direction and purpose. I decided to go back to society and use my experience and insights to influence and help more people.
When I returned to the workplace, I found myself more calm and confident. I no longer work to cater to other people's expectations, but focus on my own interests and goals. My work has become more meaningful and fulfilling, and I have started to have fun with it.
Looking back on this experience of naked resignation, I am deeply grateful and grateful. It allowed me to find myself and rediscover the meaning of life. I believe that in the days to come, I will continue to stick to my choices and pursuits, and live my own wonderful and unique life.
