Daft_ishSuppose we knew the world was ending. Would the fear of knowing its all over outweigh the relief of not having to goto work tomorrow?
livus"If the world was ending you'd come over, right?"
Seriously though I think you need to look for ways of changing your workplace if it's possible. We probably only have one life.
I’m in a good place at work. I just want to be exploring my creativity. Unfortunately, that will never pay as much.
They say to never do what you love for work or it’ll become a chore. Make time to be creative, even if it’s only one weekend a month, it’ll refill the creative juices and balance out the balance
They also say to do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. They say lots of things, many of them contradictory.
I think your advice of intentionally setting aside time is wise, though. I believe that too often we take for granted that things will just happen, and also overestimate the chilling effect of “not being spontaneous”.
I didn’t say I wanted to do it for work. I just would rather be doing it. Even in the case it made me money it wouldn’t be enough.
Do you need it to pay as much? I hope that someday you get to have as much creativity in your life as you want, friend. And that it's not only at the end of the world.
Just trying to survive out here
I hear ya.
Glad you're okay, the original post was giving Melancholia vibes.
