I don't know who needs to hear this, but please don't feel pressured to monetize a hobby or skill you're passionate about. It's important that you always love it. This is a lesson I've learned the hard way.

@killyourfm @LibertyForward1 I painted for a few years, people said I should sell, but I didn’t want to. Then I stopped wanting to paint and started doing epoxy resin stuff. People asked if I have an Etsy. No. Now I’m making polymer clay stuff. Same story. NO!

If I’d made any of those into a business, I’d never have tried the others, and I’d be ass-deep in accounting, website updates, social media marketing, taxes, deadlines, shitty customers… no, just no.
