I don't have an exact date on this, but one of my inflection points was definitely March 2017: when I decided that journalism wasn't a career I wanted to pursue. I'd gone to college for it and was convinced it was a noble goal and something I wanted to do with my life, but by that point I'd been working in it for over two years and was miserable. I'd also gone through a really bad breakup that was messing with my head. That decision started me on a series of events including moving back home with my parents, quitting that job I'd worked so hard to get, and going to grad school. All in all it was the best decision I've ever made and I'm much happier now!
