Sometimes I get so burnt out on paying bills, cleaning, doing laundry – working, working, working when I am not working (ah, freelance) and just life in general. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore working… just with everything else, it feels like I can’t even catch my breath. There comes a time when we must put down EVERYTHING, remind ourselves life is too short and just drive somewhere. There is truly nothing like the feeling of going down the road with good tunes, the windows down and not knowing where you are going – just straight. I am not talking the busy streets of downtown, I am talking the road that only has one car on it *and it’s normally a tractor (in Oklahoma at least). The one that takes you somewhere beautiful and you have no idea how you got there.
I so badly want to be freelance full-time…I think that is what pushes me to work extremely hard so I can get to that point. Freelancers, how did you become full-time freelance? If you are not full-time, how do you plan on getting to that point so you won’t hit the ground running like myself.
I so agree with you on making it a priority to relax once in awhile. While I don’t freelance, I have a full-time office job and tend to my blog when I can; and sometimes the combination of the two gets to be too much. I find there are days where I want to sit and do absolutely nothing, even though there are things to do, haha!
Keep up the freelancing and see where it leads. Especially if you have a passion for what you do!
