There’s that saying: If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I always thought that sounded really nice. One can dream, amiright?!
But I don’t think I actually understood it until now.
I worked in HR for years, and I genuinely liked my job (overall 😅). I liked the people, I liked what I did, and I was good at it. But it was still a job.
And I think about this sometimes…
If I had all the money I needed and never actually needed a job, would I still do this?
And the answer is hell yeah I would!
Okay… maybe on my own schedule, and in between casually vacationing around the world without a care 😂
But yes. I’d still be designing things. Making things. Coming up with ideas at completely inappropriate times. Getting way too excited when something turns out exactly how I pictured it.
Going down random rabbit holes because, “Wait… what if we tried THIS?”
I genuinely love this stuff.
Do I love every part of it? Absolutely not. 😂
Give me a difficult customer and suddenly I’m questioning all of my life choices and thinking the 9-5 doesn’t sound so bad after all.
Thankfully, those moments are few and far between 🤎
Most days, I get to wake up and spend my time making things, creating things, figuring s**t out, and building something that is actually mine.
And I think that’s the part I didn’t realize I was looking for all those years. Not a job I didn’t hate.
Something I’d actually choose to do, even if I didn’t have to.
So yeah…
I think I finally get it. 🖤
