It sucks not to work with what you like.

"When you turn your hobby into work, your hobby becomes too much work."

I think we all hear that at some point, but strangely, I never had that said to me in any way. Maybe working with music is really it, at least for me.

I have said before and still think about it every day: "I wish I was recording, mixing, or mastering something". Sometimes it really hurts (emotionally and physically) not to be doing music while sitting in this fucking chair in a place where everyone has their little cubicle typing away their lives. Don't get me wrong; I see a kind of beauty in that too, but as time passes, I see that that's not for me.

I hope that by this time next year I'll be working two jobs: this dead-end office load of semi-creative crap and being a low-paid, do-it-all intern in a recording studio.

I'm living in a "If I want it enough, I can get it" mentality day-by-day, because by the end of 2023 I'll be a certified music producer (with a diploma and all the capitalist society craves from a 20-something person).
