I haven’t worked since November and while I appreciate the time off, I’d really like to figure out a direction for my career.
I know that I don’t want to go back to graphic design. Throwing away ten years of a pretty successful career might seem insane to some, but I know it’s time to move on. I’ve gone as far as I want with this. The other parts of me need a chance to shine.
When people see my drawings and paintings they always tell me that I’m “wasting” my talent because I’m not making any money off of it, as if we should whore out everything we love to do. If I had to paint for a living I’d hate it. It would become work. They just don’t get that.
My dream job would involve two of my passions: travel and writing. I don’t know if I have the chops to make it as a writer professionally, but being a travel writer is what I want my next move to be. If anyone knows how to make that happen hit me up.
I’m surprised this post turned out to be about work.
I was going to write about relationships.
Go figure.
