Called in sick to work, spending the day working on my video essay, having a blast
I have this thing where for some reason, on some nights, I just do not get to sleep. Like 2:30 am and I'm more wired than at any point in the day. I passed out at about 5:30 and no way in hell am I going to drive to work (dangerous) and try and do work (poor focus) on two hours sleep.
But my video essay is nearly done after a few months of quite hard work, and I finished the video edit earlier and I'm having so much fun with it. It's been quite hard work but I'm super proud of it and it really feels like that hard work has paid off just to have something at the end I'm pleased to put my name to.
If I could live every day like this, working on my own projects, my own passions, life would be good. That's all I want.
It's three hours long and I need to review the whole thing so I'm still a few days away from it being signed off and uploaded to YouTube but getting ahead today is a super good feeling.
What personal creative projects are you working on? Would you want to make a full-time living from it?
