this could be a bit of a hot take but as someone with a creative job/lifestyle: I do think there is something to be said about having something stable to pay the bills and be able to pursue creative endeavors from a place of love and joy and curiosity and not survival.

I don't think it's a hot take at all! I absolutely agree with this and many of us (myself included very often) don't appreciate the stable jobs enough. Sometimes I get jealous of people who get to dedicate all of their time and energy to their creative pursuits but I am truly very fortunate to have a stable job that allows me the freedom to interact with my creative endeavors by my own choice from that place of joy and curiosity!

I’ll follow that up with: I’ve been fully remote for seven years and I do very much advocate for jobs and roles that allow for flexibility and balance so you can have both, because it is possible!! just have to find a happy medium
