Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
I had a brief period a few years ago where I was a full time game developer, working as project manager for a small tech company. This would definitely take the cake for a phase I miss.
It’s up there with full time musician and various other ideal careers, and was definitely hard to part with and go back to what one would call normal life.
I had developed video game IP which was essentially purchased from me to hand over the rights and work for the company to bring the game to life. For reasons I won’t go deep into, it didn’t work out, and I had to return to my regular job and move on.
It was a tough thing to walk away from, but I had no choice but to move on when the signs were saying this will not work. I guess it takes a bit of strength to say goodbye to what would be a dream job, but hey, life isn’t so bad.
Silver linings are – I learnt a lot from the experience, and continue trying to pursue the game dev, and I walked back into my previous career on better money. Gotta think of the positives.
