Today marks the two year anniversary from when I got laid off from my day job.
Whenever I’m feeling down, not good enough or not successful enough I remind myself that I am doing my genuine hobby for a living now. That I wake up every day without having that dreaded get myself to work feeling to do a job that wasn’t me. I have to remind myself how depressed I used to get when I had that old job and even getting physically ill when I was at my lowest points.
There is a reason why without any calendar reminders required, October 15th automatically stands out to me. I hope some of you reading this find the courage to insist on doing what you love and the strength to hang in there if you cannot yet. I know what that feeling was like.
