I thiink we're all aware that we should live every day as if it were our last, but honestly, that pithy nonsense occupies the same shelf as the old chestnut about doing what you love: it comes from an incredible place of privilege. The thing about almost all work is that it is WORK. It's not meant to be fun. It's shit that other people don't want to do. Even those with gifts, those with skills--if one lives in a capitalist society, especially one that doesn't value the arts, a day job is needed.
I am so grateful that you have the ability to talk yourself out of dire things, becaues you have os much wit, so many gifts, such great heart that you desire to give to the world. Your stories are stories that only you can tell,and I look forward to hearing them.
