To be honest, I’d just be happy I could smoke cigarettes again.

    I’m in a good place at work. I just want to be exploring my creativity. Unfortunately, that will never pay as much.

      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.

          I hear ya.

          Glad you’re okay, the original post was giving Melancholia vibes.

      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.
