A corporate employee quit her HR job in Delhi after four and a half years of working and moved to Goa to begin a new chapter in her life. However, leaving behind a steady career has brought its own set of fears, financial concerns and questions about the future. Arpita Sahu has been sharing her experiences on Instagram, opening up about the challenges of starting afresh, finding a sense of purpose and building a life in a new city.
For Sahu, moving to Goa was about more than taking a break from work or living in a popular holiday destination. She also hoped to find a place she could call home and discover what she wanted from life. She also spoke about the uncertainty of moving to a new city, including whether she would find like-minded people and a sense of purpose. “I really hope that, you know, this place becomes a place which I can call home. I find my people here. Until that happens, I’m going to keep searching. I’m going to keep looking in every corner of the world,” she added.

In another Instagram video , Sahu opened up about the fear she felt on her first Monday without having to go to the office. One of her biggest concerns is financial uncertainty, particularly how long she can sustain herself without a regular salary. Leaving a stable job has also meant stepping into an unfamiliar routine without the security of a conventional career.
