The Positive Value of Quitting

I am thinking of quitting an internship I forced myself in doing because of social pressure. But then I started complaining to myself of how I quit something that seems really important in the society easily, which led to the thought of how much quitting certain things can actually lead to having a positive value if done right. The idea of quitting a thing or a leaving a place is because it is harmful to your progress or you are not finding it worthy for you. You almost sink deep into something you are expected to be doing then you wake up to yourself asking why am I doing this to myself?

Few things I have quitted or left as a person:

Why am I dropping this job? hmmm because I felt there is more I should be doing for my self.

Why did I drop out of school? same reason.

So what has been the net sum positive value it has helped my life. I started living in my own terms, what I find interest in. For someone who really have lost interest in a lot of things, I started gaining confidence in myself more, started seeing how I could improve myself. The chain effect of that decision led me to starting a non-profit project that has really helped a number of people. It has led to me making this decision.

A few deets about the job. I needed an environment for building then I had this senior friend who I respect so much which I asked if I could intern at his company but then getting the job made me see how much faulty the tech ecosystem is in and the company with good intentions is a result of that. There is definitely somethings I would learn if I stick to the company but then I have more things to do.

Things like the non-profit project which I want to continue working on. I want to be able to build softwares to help people in my society and also get better as a programmer. I am going to have to hack my way up to a better person.
