I got a job doing what I wanted (it seemed important, aligned with my values, and was intellectually stimulating) and it just turned into another job I didn't want to show up for. Organizing is also a job, but at least I want to do it.
Huge difference between being coerced and not.
Got this on a mug as a reminder lol
Yeah, I got into a job that I thought I always wanted. That was naive of me because once I was forced to do the thing it was no longer appealing. Hobbies do not make good jobs because a job will ruin your love of the thing in my experience.
