Reading some of the things in this post were really affirming for me - it's nice to know that I'm not alone in my journey as a newbie freelancer (and now I have something to send my parents when they start pressuring me to 'get a secure, full-time job' again haha). Since the pandemic derailed my life and former corporate-slave style of working, I've found a much happier and fulfilling way of earning an income that gives me more free time and control over my life. I read one of your posts a year or two ago about how the 40-hour work week is becoming outdated and is kinda cruel and it really got me thinking... So thanks for giving one of the little nudges that eventually helped me break free from a life that was depressing AF and unnecessary. Keep inspiring with your insightful writing, Thomas ^_^ Let the people know that there are alternatives to the status quo and even though it may be scary to leave what's familiar behind, the grass can indeed be greener on the other side.
Awesome post, Thomas! I feel a little dumb since I've never heard about most of this stuff, but that's completely fine with me - I have about a million tabs open now and am inspired to read and watch and contemplate and discuss. Thank you for that!
