I Took a Little Something (song) Puns

I don’t post on here much, I’ve just been a reader since 2015 or so. But I felt the need to give my little spiel, it’s long overdue lol. Look, I know there are a LOT of appreciation posts going on right now (it’s an exciting time). But the melody when Victoria sings,”You feel your heart break, and you don’t know why”, HITS me. Lyrically, musically, sonically. It’s just insane that these two still give me the same feeling I felt when I heard Levitation, or Dive for the first time. Maybe more intense..just from a small melody. It makes the whole track for me. This is what I strive to give people with the music I make. Give someone the good feeling I get when I hear a good song, and I feel Beach House are the masters of that. They are so in touch with their music and sound, it’s inspiring as hell. I think I might just start making a new song, I’ve been in a rut lately. These songs are pulling me out of that lull.

I love this band, and this fan base so much :’)

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the advice! This has been very helpful.

So this is a post about my personal experience of quitting huge comfort zone. I've seen a lot of similar posts on Reddit (read almost all of them), so I thought someone would find it interesting.

I've been working at my previous company for 8 years, and I've been on the same project for almost 4 years. I knew EVERYTHING about it: code, backlog, processes, teams and team members... I've developed perfect professional relationship with clients by helping them out with development, design, deployments, QA, pretty much anything that was needed. I also went a step further and developed a personal relationship with them along the years.

Being "indispensable" to clients made me indispensable to the company. Management loved me and kept throwing money my way to just "keep doing what I'm doing". Around 6-7 months ago I realized I worked on barely 20% of what I was capable. That alone made me aware of the fact I've been stagnating for at least a year or so. I enjoyed the perks of hard work I did a couple years ago.

I could confidently say I haven't learned anything new in the past 12 months. I don't blame anyone but me - I got comfortable. I got into a situation where I could work for couple of hours at most every day. I would do half-assed analysis of new features because, after so many years of looking at the codebase, I could confidently implement anything in half the time other devs would do it. And this is a HUGE project, mind that!

At the same time, I realized other people were learning new cool things, gaining experience in tools I always wanted to use, while I was stuck maintaining and enhancing an older application. So not only was I clearly stagnating, the imposter syndrome started hitting me hard. I couldn't figure out if I got where I am today because of my tenure at the project or because of my actual skills.

Anyway, I started contemplating leaving the company and the project. It took me two months to even start reaching out to companies. I received an offer of 30% raise at a pretty good company, which I contemplated (AGAIN) for days. In the end... I just said yes. Sent out an email to my managers that same night, thanked them for everything but explained it's time for me to test my own skills, learn something new and just get back that old work ethic I had.

I've been with the new company for a little over a month. I can just say one thing - it's so hard, but I love it. For the first time in the last 4-5 years I've had to actually do a c

I sure do have weird dreams
