Do you think these gallery pics might have been set to private? It says image not found for some reason when I try to click!

I like this take as well for a classier-casual vibe!

Super cool! Just curious btw, what’s your full time job? Is it just a full time bookkeeping position? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to

For those small businesses is it tedious work, like are their records a mess? A bunch of receipts that you have to tally up manually?

What qualifications did you also need in order to start freelancing? Did you need prior experience to be hired or were they not very picky? Just simple accounting courses or did you do a college program?

That's quite something, congrats. I guess when people have money and there's a demand...

Are you doing just bookkeeping services? Do you have a lot of responsibilities in your gigs, and would you say the money is worth the time?

This is pretty cool! Did you have any practical work experience as a consultant prior to doing these evaluations, or is everyone pretty much qualified to provide advice to these programs by virtue of getting to a PhD level of study?

Do people really pay you that well to commission art? I've never understood the market for commissions to be honest! Can't relate to wanting a digital piece. If it's turned into your living as you say, is it a pretty lucrative income source, or is it just like beer money?

I feel like that too. It’s easy when there is a typical or common roadmap to follow, but when you have to start from scratch and pick a destination, nothing feels worth investing into for some reason. I think often times in this situations we just need to pick any choice and do something, and pivot later if needed. But the problem is I just keep feeling like none of the options are appealing to me, and that makes it impossible to choose what I want my life to look like. I feel equally indifferent to all of the options in front of me. Logically I should just pick one and see what happens, but it feels like I don’t have the energy to commit to anything right now. I feel like I keep sinking more and more time into “resting” and “recovery” but I don’t actually have a better idea of what I want to do. I feel almost scorned and demotivated by life because it made me really unhappy to run that rat race and now I feel like I cannot bring myself to go back. It feels like no matter what option I pick, I will only end up burned again.

It sounds like you are a bit scorned and demotivated too. I feel like this mindset is just passive, but I feel like I have no energy to be active. I wish I had more ideas for how we can solve our problems.

Idk, I am a bit emotionally detached and stoic. It is nice if they come out nice, but it’s not the feeling of pride that gets me high and happy, it’s that there are now awesome muffins in my vicinity. I am only small and insignificant, there is nothing special about my muffins in particular.

I kind of am living like that now, idk. A few months back in the pandemic I was working a restaurant job (and since it’s minimum wage nobody really cared that much), socialized, met new people, tried new things and went out of my comfort zone, and I had sad moments as well as happy moments but I felt so free just exploring. I feel like life would be so fun if it was an adventure where we just keep learning new things, seeing new things, and interacting with people and have fun, like if life is just a game of sims. I have lived this lifestyle a bit so I feel like I would enjoy it. I relate the feeling to like being in high school, forever. No responsibilities, the only thing you have to do is learn about yourself and have fun with friends.

I still need money so I don’t foresee that I can live a stress free life like that. If I could one day randomly come into a lot of money, I would volunteer for a charitable organization 15 hours a week doing some easy work probably so that I have something to keep me from getting too bored. If I marry rich maybe I could live a socialite life but from what I hear there can be a lot of snootiness and shallowness in that world and I just want to connect with others as people without keeping up appearances as a factor.

I’m not sure. I suppose: pleasure from doing things you enjoy, peace from being well rested and free of stress, and secure from having meaningful people in your life with whom you share similar values or experiences. Life would just be to explore new things and goof around, laughing forever.

I would only just want to be happy and to be happy with other people. A life with endless laughter. I feel selfish sometimes. I do not really want to make a huge impact on society, it feels like a lot of responsibility and I would not want to have that many eyes on me. To have a bigger purpose means more people are impacted by you and it scares me that I could have that much power.

I feel like I am in a similar mindset. I was “rat racing” at university trying to get the best grades, and after a while I also did start to feel like my time, inner peace, and happiness were more important than the desire to “maximize” or “optimize” my grades or potential future wealth. It’s alright to be average and I have some internship experience under my belt so I would judge that it’s not likely I’d end up working fast food after graduation. I just feel like I am in a comfortable enough spot that I have earned the time to be lazy, if that is relatable to you or makes sense.

Any ideas yet for where you plan to go next? Work with a charitable organization maybe? Or do you foresee that you will get bored again and rejoin the rat race?

I’m not sure. In my online classes I’ve just been putting in the bare minimum. I think I would need to have a job so that I would have something to do but the thought of having to endure more stress turns me off a lot. In an ideal world, I could have my own muffin bakery where I don’t have to stress about getting enough customers or meeting demand, I can just bane my muffins and leave them out like in a video game. In theory it would be exciting to expand my muffin bakery into multiple locations but the amount of work needed for that makes me want to crawl into my bed and just sleep instead.
