So recently I switched over to being on demand at my day job. Essentially that means I’m no longer being scheduled but I’ll still be able to pick up shifts if I really need the money. I’m probably one of the few weirdos who actually doesn’t mind retail work but I was getting just so burnt out. After some of the other jobs I’ve had I told myself that I don’t want to live my life to just make money, if it’s too soul crushing or exhausting I don’t want that to be my life just because the pay is decent. And right now I’m lucky enough to be in a spot where I have enough saved to step away from retail and focus on what I really want to do for a career: Art. This is kind of a leap of faith and I don’t know if it’ll work out at all but it’s a risk I’m prepared to make, and I’m not jumping without a net to catch me. I’ve thought about this for a long time and determined I wasn’t happy with how I was living my life. I have so much I want to do creatively and there’s never going to be enough
