As the title says I am thinking about quitting my job to focus on my music career as a singer and songwriter.

I’ve been working this job since I was 16 and I am 23 now. I’ve been doing shift work for the last three years and it‘s draining me completely. Can‘t really focus on making music after work because I am tired most of the time. And I’ve been telling myself I‘ll quit and make it work for the last 3-4 years but I never do because I earn a decent amount of money for my age and it’s a very secure job.

I “quit” making music a couple of times and told myself I’ll switch to a completely different job or that there are so many artists out there that nobody needs my songs anyways and many other excuses. But the music STILL always found it’s way back to me and it filled me with joy everytime.

And everytime I let somebody listen to my songs I always got positive feedback (like fr because I tend to be very strict with myself and don't trust positive opinions, thinking that I am being lied to🫩)

So my plan is: 1.moving in with my parents until the end of the year to save as much money as possible 2.quitting my job so I can focus on my music for the first 3-4 months and see how it goes 3.moving in with my girlfriend in january.

My girl is moving to the capital city of our country and I could live with her rent free (we both agreed that would be perfectly fine, I paid our rent for the last 2 years).

I am sure that moving away, quitting my job and doing something completely different would benefit me in the long run and I am only 23 so I feel like now is the right time to try things before it‘s too late.

And I also feel like moving to a big city will give me more opportunities and connections.

Should I do it or not ?
