Last 2.5 years I’ve been building something of my own to become financially independent and focus on art. Still building that life.
So what gets you out of bed each morning?
Started working tech/start-ups at 23 years old. After 3 years felt it was sucking away my youth, and at 26 said “screw it” and moved to a very rural town to join a music school.
I found music to be a fulfilling adventure this past year, but now ahead of the second year I’m feeling very isolated from “my people” (hackers, techies) in the city, and the worlds I came from (software engineering.)
Feeling very lost. On one hand I don’t want to move out and feel like I’ve made a mistake ‘giving up’ second year of music school, on the other I’m already feeling this about exciting tech projects and jobs I’m refusing, and about being close to friends & family in the city.
How do you choose where to be?
