it’s really tough freelancing at this point in my career. i have to make decisions that i don’t want to (or know how to) make, i don’t get perks. i have to force myself to wake up early and go to bed early even though nobody is telling me to because i pretty much make my own deadlines. i have a weekend job so that i have health insurance, and i have to document every time i get paid so that i hopefully don’t owe a ton in taxes next year. but - i have things to be thankful for. i get to freelance in an office full of creatives i was an intern for (they let me stick around) that i occasionally help out. i live in a good city full of opportunities and good people. here are some things i’ve learned:
surround myself with creative and supportive people
learn my resources
{try to} do what seems interesting
do only what you love
work for companies you love
don’t be afraid to ask questions
don’t be afraid.
How Animals Eat Their Food
quite possibly the funniest thing on the internets
today i learned a little about fighting for what you want and not being afraid
