Oof I feel this one. I've actually just ended up getting a short term side gig - bartending weddings at a local venue! It's funny because I've recently been doing all this dream-adjacent work for other people - writing articles, building websites, copywriting, doing design for people similar to what I wanted to do - and struggling massively with it and the pain flareups that come from sitting at my desk too long.
This initially felt like a step backwards, but now I actually feel kind of excited for this other job, even if it's just for a few months. Get out, be around people, be part of a team, leave... Hopefully with no waking up in the night thinking about whether I resized the right photos or emulated their voice. And more energy (and capacity) to do the things I *actually* wanna do. TBD. I'll keep you posted 😉💜💜💜
Oooh yes Cassie, let me know how it goes! And I totally get the urge to go do something different. Not just mentally but physically. Shift how you're absorbing and interacting to the world.
Sounds like fun and non-screen time is important! 💜💜
