That is how my Steem/Hive journey started. I quit my office job that was making me depressed and lead to me having anxiety attacks almost daily. I decided that I needed change in my life. For a longest time I waited for someone to swoop in and lead me out of the darkness, then I realized that no one was coming and that someone should be myself. So yea, I am a leader and I don't regret embarking that journey. It has given me so much and I am grateful for every moment of it.
There have been also other times in my life where I have felt that I need to step away from certain situations in order to be more healthy individual. To focus more on myself and what I want from my life. It came from realizing that me being in those situations did no one a service as I was not equipped to handle them.
