As someone with a lot of side hustles, I understand wanting to make money doing something you love. But sometimes putting a monetary focus on a hobby kills the enjoyment.
I love kids. Especially babies. And I have worked as a nanny and a teacher. Teaching, evenpart-time, has taught me that even though I love kids, I don’t want to work with them full-time.
I have two special-needs siblings so I love very much. That does not mean I am qualified or interested in working with special-needs people full-time.
I enjoy baking bread and trying new recipes but when I tried to make a living doing this, it made me pretty miserable. I would rather make healthy things for people I love and see them enjoy it than sell to strangers.
I have spent so much time worrying about justifying a hobby that I have killed the joy and so many things. I’m trying to reclaim that joy and allow myself to just exist without constantly worrying about money.
