Why Does Quitting Feel so Empowering?

I want to know if you think quitting feels empowering? Not even just putting in the notice but those last few days. I work in healthcare and I am finally leaving for my own mental and physical health. I am down to the last few days and just had a provider try to disrespect me when I did nothing wrong. It felt so good to completely ignore them like they aren’t there and then make a comment basically saying I could care less. (nothing that would impact a patient by the way) It wasn’t about power, it was about empowerment. Thinking in my head this person truly has nothing on me and can do nothing to me since I am gone in a few days. So once again, has anybody else felt like this when leaving a job? Especially one where you hard work wasn’t appreciated.
