Everybody would like to have fun and make money, but that rarely happens.
Most people work jobs they hate just to pay the bills.

I never really worked full-time—maybe three months with a friend—and I realized the jobs I was offered felt like bullshit to me. So instead, I decided to work for myself.

Instead of doing what people expect, I do what I want. I rarely get paid for what I enjoy doing, because there’s a mismatch in demand. People don’t really need what I create; if they did, they would support it—but most of it doesn’t find an audience.

That’s the harsh reality of modern life.

If fun activities translated directly into money, nobody would hate their job. But most jobs feel meaningless to the people doing them—they do them just to get money and pay the bills.
