Having a job you don’t like will drain the life out of you. Passion is needed to keep you going and give you motivation to get through your day. As someone who’s seen you write stories ever since you were a kid, it’s good to see your creativity has lead you to substack where you are speaking about important political issues.
If only passion could sustain life without having to hold an economically extractable full time position. If we had community instead of isolationism and profit driven economy we could all create and instead of extract. Alas - we live in what we live in, and we pursue our passions when we can - for me that often means late into the night!
This was a good read! I loved your passion in it!! I could feel it just by your writing!
I think when we’re younger it’s easier to say we want to pursue our passions frivolously. We have more freedom and time. You can still go after your dreams at any stage in life but as you get older there comes more responsibilities and commitments which make it more difficult.
I 100% agree that we should at least like the 9-5 job we are doing but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way unfortunately. I get the frustration! Sometimes you don’t end up getting the job you really want to do.
At least for me, 9-5 pays my bills and I need it for stability, however I try to purse my goals on the side. I’ve tried pivoting into journalism for years now and it just hasn’t been working out so I decided to take control of my own life and just craft my own path! Career paths aren’t linear and it looks different for everyone!
I agree with your closing argument. Just start and give it a shot and I am proud of you for doing that! Do you know how many years now I said that I would start my Substack lol. So yes, just start and you’re doing great. 💜 Thanks so much for sharing and including my work. I am honored. 🫶🏽
Thank you, Selina. I 100% agree. I think sometimes the answer to things not working is to just create your own path and that is when things are the most exciting in my opinion because you’re able to create your own rules. I’m glad this resonated with you and someway and you could relate 🫶🏻🫶🏻

It is a shame, but I like you find my passion keeps me going. Even if it’s not my full time job, it counts for something!
