"The only reason to stay in this job was money, but to me cash was the applause of Performance Art and I would rather put on my own show in an empty theater."
"The contrast to my working experience is remarkable. Instead of constantly questioning "What am I even doing here?", I'm questioning "What can I do here?" Anything I do now doesn't feel like a burden, it feels like a puzzle to be solved."
Pair good thinking with conscious effort - biggest takeaway from this essay and thank you for sharing your journey, Chris. It gives people like me a lot of confidence to be able to make decisions that I currently find difficult owing to financial strain but I’m on my path to soon break free from my day job and use my skills for the better!
