Hello!

It’s been a while since I last posted, life gets busy I’m sure you all understand. But the reason I have been off for so long has sparked the idea of the post I’m writing today.

So I guess to narrow the question down, is would you do the job you do if you didn’t get paid? Forget bills, rent and mortgages, if you had all the money in the world what would you do? So many people in this little world of ours out and about, but are they doing what they enjoy?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently as some things I used to enjoy a lot started to become a chore to me. Suddenly, writing doesn’t seem as fun sometimes when I have to do it for deadlines and set briefs. Social media posting doesn’t seem as fun when I have to follow strict guidelines for work too. But at the end of the day, I do normally enjoy these things. So why now do they feel like a chore?

I could make this easy and pin it down to these cold winter months. They make you feel like doing nothing; I often sit and ponder why do we not hibernate like other animals. It sounds lovely to be honest.

I think this is something interesting to put towards every action in our life. Jobs, creative outputs, cleaning and cooking. At what point do our enjoyments become a pain?
