Oh, so the question keeps coming up, but the answer has never come out.

What do you do for a living?

All right.

So let's start here.

11 months ago, almost exactly to this date, I started this flog.

In fact, I announced it right here.

I did.

So out of necessity, necessity for a change in lifestyle and a change in mindset.

I had come to hate so many aspects of my life who I was, how I used my time, how I'd be remembered.

It was 5.

35 PM on March 10th, 2011 exactly one day before the earthquake that devastated Japan.

I was sitting in a cafe in this location when the news came in.

I was to be promoted to a full time management position at a company that I worked for for the last couple of years and to start on April 1st.

It was a dream come true at the time, and I was ecstatic.

The company was a communications training company, kind of like English training, but a little different.

And I was given a position running an entire branch job was good.

It felt safe, I guess not all that different from working at any other corporation.

But what really makes a job is the people.

And you see, there is a saying that went around this company.

Everyone is replaceable.

Many disagreed, and many more left.

For some reason.

I ST I don't know.

Maybe it was the security, but I never took the time to ask myself if I was really happy on.

Then I woke up angry one night.

In fact, I was always angry on.

I asked myself when had all of this started?

When had I become so negative?

The only way I know how to effectively make progress in change is through consistent action on.

So I started the vlog.

I kept my job, but I changed how I lived.

Traded video games for video shoots and Netflix nights for late night edits.

I was determined to change how I live my life.

I was determined to do more.

In fact, I put out over 100 videos in the last 11 months.

I used the paid holidays that I have to build up my life and even visit my family in Canada for the first time in three years after this visit, though, that everything changed.

Visited, kind of put me in touch with who I really waas.

And that was dangerous because I started to realize that I really wasn't happy, uh, coming back.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

In fact, I could barely bring myself to put on my suit and going to work in the morning.

The only time that I felt like I was even alive was when I was playing music or when I was creating something.

So about the vlog.

Believe it or not, I never actually expecting anybody to watch this vlog.

But here we are.

It was originally intended as an outlet for me to develop my mindset, my skill set and my outlook on the world.

In fact, all of the little messages that I have shared in this vlog for originally four me or should my life be short lived for my loved ones to remember me by.

But along the way, I've learned so much about myself, including the fact that I love connecting with people and I love creating all of this.

Combined with the time with my family, was an eye opener that I just couldn't ignore anymore.

I knew it was time for a much more serious change.

Which brings us back to the bridge.

This'll bridge.

This bridge has had a significant importance in my life since I started my career.

You see, this bridge has always been more of a portal between worlds.

To me on one side sits the business district where my career began.

In my day to day work, life took place And on the other side where all the things that I saw as life and freedom like Akihabara Asakusa, my home all the things that I love so much you see, I love walking Tokyo helps me clear my head So when I first started my career, I would walk the same road every night and cross this bridge.

It was so symbolic for me.

Reaching this bridge was a gateway between these worlds.

So with this bridge being this symbolic, I couldn't think of a better place to make this announcement on to share this.

With all of you on April 1st of 2011 and its exact spot, I found out that I'd be starting a career in corporate management at the time It was a dream come true But my dreams have changed.

So on April 1st of this year 2000 and 18 I quit.

So today I walked this bridge with an extra special significance.

Because today, the day that I'm recording this scene right now is my last day of this company.

I quit because I wasn't happy because change is good.

And while my life hasn't changed monumentally my mindset has, um I scared.

Oh, yeah?

Do I have any idea what's coming next way?

But I do know there will be doing it together, E.
