✨ What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

Simply Flava | Real Talk Chronicles

If I’m being honest, the biggest risk I’d like to take is to stop working—completely.

Not because I don’t love the work, but because I’ve outgrown the space I’m in.

I sincerely love what I do.

I’m good at it.

I know what I’m doing, and I care about doing it right.

But I don’t fit in anymore.

Workplaces have changed.

The focus isn’t on professionalism or experience anymore—it’s about keeping positions filled and the flow going.

You can feel the shift in priorities. Corners get cut to save time or money, and the value of experience doesn’t seem to carry the same weight it once did.

Still, I serve with pride.

I take pride in being a first responder for the surgeons’ teams—both in person and on the phone.

I understand the urgency, the responsibility, and the humanity in every interaction.

When a patient calls in fear or walks in unsure, I’m often their first calm connection.

That matters to me—it always has.

But it’s hard, because I come from a generation that believes in showing up, doing the work, and taking pride in it.

Now it feels like the world is chasing something else—speed, convenience, and short-term fixes.

So yes, the biggest risk I’d like to take is to walk away and build a life that aligns with who I am now.

To give my energy to my writing, my creativity, and my peace.

But that kind of change takes timing, planning, and faith.

For now, I keep showing up—grateful for what I’ve learned and steady in how I serve.

And when the day comes that I finally take that leap…

it won’t feel like leaving work.

It’ll feel like stepping into freedom.
