@theluthier I’ve been taking a break myself, I got a bit of a scare recently.
January this year I stopped doing freelance to focus on a portfolio to try and make a major life change, so I’ve been working literally non stop, doing my 8 to 5 sentence at the office and then getting home tired and continuing to sit in front of the computer to work on 3D to try and make up for the hours lost, and then weekends it’s the only chance you have time to really focus and push hard. Literally months just driving in my car back and forth to just sit and try to get things done as fast as possible. There’s no other way when you’re an employee, what would otherwise be your free time to rest is what little time you have available to work on your personal stuff, even though by then your job has sucked all the energy out of you. So lately I’ve been feeling this pressure at the back of my head and this weird headache that doesn’t go away for days and I said ok, it’s probably time to stop.
I hope the gamble pays off soon and I can get a job doing 3D for real and work 8 to 5 on that and then the time left is leisure time. And I always think to myself, man what about the people that have three jobs just to make ends meet, just to stay afloat, and each one of those jobs is two times worst than mine, and they can’t even stop or they wont make it. No wonder people are just dropping left and right.
