Existential baggage.

Eagle Creek: Find Your Unknown

Boss emailed me about this intern copy I wrote.

He liked it.

Dear Boss,

Today I stopped staring at clocks to check the time.

I stopped telling myself, "It'll happen eventually."

I stopped coming up with excuses.

Today I knew it was time.

Time for change.

Time for growth.

Time for betterment.

Today, it hit me how big the universe is and, more importantly, how vital every part of it, even the tiniest dust particle, every single atom, is to keep the well-oiled machine functioning properly.

One small person like me can make a big difference.

One small person like me is part of everything that's out there.

I have to get out there.

I have to grow, learn, and improve.

I want to be the best version of myself that I can be.

But I can't do that in here.

I have to go out there.

To think different.

To interact different.

To be different.

I have to be one with the world, its cultures, its languages, and its people to accomplish what I know I can.

So, I quit.

I quit to see what I've never seen, hear what I've never heard, and do what I've never thought possible.

I quit because working here has motivated me to chase greatness.

I quit to repay you for all you've done for me and more.

I quit to find my unknown.

We will meet again,

Employee
