Ok 6 months of willful unemployment have come and gone. That was so FAST! The very critical side of me shouts - "what do you have to show for it??...nothing!". But then the gentler side of me says "wow, you've come so far in your healing and you're starting to come out as the truest expression of yourself". So what's it gonna be today?
Sad to say the critic is winning :(
I just spent the last 2 hours scouring job boards and Craigslist trying to find something that couldhelp fund this new lifestyle. Is there something out there that I can do to make some money to help support the fam but that still frees up space to create and explore. Is that too idealistic?
Side note: Been into astrology and moon stuff lately and I just found that a main trait of a Sagittarius is being an idealist which I never thought I was...guess I was wrong.
I'm sure this is familiar territory for most creative people. The struggle between dedicating time to doing what you love and supporting yourself is real. At a recent talk I went to, it was said that Philip Glass, known as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th Century, was also a plumber by day. Wait WHAT?!? Goes to show that an artistic life is far from a traditional one and so far in my experience requires a contestant negotiation between soul and ego.
