Very well put Jess, thank you for sharing with me. Yes to this. Pursuing a creative life rather than a dream job, that may not be quite the dream you thought. 💛💛
I have always felt that the phrase "pursuing your passion" was misplaced with regard to career searching. Paid work should be about serving others and the wider community while (hopefully) engaging your interests and skills. If you are passionate about creative pursuits, you should do those outside the realm of the market economy so that you are completely free to express your ideas.
Absolutely. Anytime those things come together (creative passions actually provide a service to others) that's a good path for a career. But so many of my interests are just for me and I'm happy to keep them that way☺️
