Ah I feel you speaking to me! But it’s true what you said about there always being a 9–5 available to fall back on if you must. Funny thing is I was laid off earlier this year and I realized I had two options. I could either hastily try to find another soul-sucking job, or I could finally take a leap of faith towards starting a blog and writing here on Medium. And now here we are writing and with a website going strong! Life didn’t even give me the choice, it said here you go, it’s your time now.
