I’m not sure if I will go on or not after leaving my job (http://annatarkov.com/goodbye-sun-times-media-hello-journalism). It will depend on whether there are opportunities to do what I care about or not. I could be wrong, but I don’t expect anyone to be beating down my door anytime soon.

You are not alone! Believe me.

When I’m too tired and it happens more and more often these days, I think about leaving it, maybe expecting too much from it. Your words made me feel like I’m not alone and it feels good. I needed it.

It’s okay if you want a change or need a break. It’s okay… but don’t give up on what you are passionate about.

It’s exactly what I needed to hear, at exactly the right time. I just finished covering a murder trial, and it absolutely drained me. Yesterday I was talking to my brother and saying that I was going to leave reporting, that I couldn’t put myself through all of this over and over again.. and here you are, with these shining words of wisdom. Well done.

quick edit: This isn’t a post defending while I love journalism. should ‘while’ be WHY?
