I regret leaving my freelancing career 3 years ago to become a full-time employee. I made the decision out of fear because I had increased my standard of living and was afraid of not continuing to make enough money as a contractor to pay for it. My life has gone downhill ever since. Today however, I put in my two-week notice. I realize how unfounded my fears were and for the first time in a long time I finally feel like I'm in control of my life again.
