I'm on the verge of tears. Your message is exactly what I needed to hear. I have worked for 9 years at what I'm good at, but not what I am passionate about. I'm tense, I'm tired, and I am unhappy because I do what I NEED to do to pay the bills. What keeps me even more trapped is medical benefits. I need to have them. There's just no way around it. I'm hoping one day I can break free to pursue my life's work, as Pam call it. Thank you for sharing your story. You have no idea how much your blog post moved me Emma. I’m on the verge of tears.

I, like many other Generation Xers, have been fed the 'promotion spiral.' In my case, it has led to no work/life balance and the 'golden handcuffs' that I am now trying to escape from.

It is so easy to fall back on what you're good at, but don't love. I have worked at many office jobs because I am good at organizing and attention to detail and customer service, but I love art. I have made art my main priority now, even though I may need to do other things for money at times. I do have a similar trouble thought when it comes to graphic design---those activities that seem to be a different version of what you love, but more marketable, are tricky business---to an outsider, they seem so similar, but to the insider they are like night and day.
