I never understood why they said to never make your hobby your job, because that would make me happier than anything else.
I’m currently working for the sake of an income, whilst I spend my free time improving my writing in the hope that one day, that alone will be enough.
I’m sick of pretending to be busy and feeling ‘caught’ when someone notices I’m not, despite the fact that I’ve done all of my work and have nothing left.
Maybe one day.

I’m always careful in my job to never be too efficient. If you work hard, you will only be rewarded with more work. My boss also does not understand burn-out. If it were up to him, I would be working 110% all the time. You have to protect yourself.
And I believe your job should be your passion. If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.
