A comment on When I left my nine-to-five to follow my passion, my life fell apart. Parent comment
Quit my FinTech job "because I was just making my bosses money" and didn't do much work for a year.
Got addicted to Crossfit and cocaine, travelled to the USA, Vietnam and Norway, and lived off Bitcoin.
The one thing I achieved was completing the last course to get my CS diploma.
Then I got a girlfriend, took a job, switched out the social circles, and started going to therapy.
I can make that year look like I was exploring, but really I was trying to escape some local optimum with some rather stupid strategies.
I'm happy my current employer didn't ask much about what I'd been doing recently, and that I can refer to my current job when I apply for my next job.
