    The problem for me is if a passion becomes work, it eventually stops being a passion. Even with things I really enjoy, I need to take breaks from those things occasionally. You can’t do that when it’s not just for fun but is your actual livelihood.

      I suppose so. Even if you like drawing art and are decent at it, spending your days drawing furry smut commissions to pay rent isn’t what many artists would describe as an enjoyable time.

      “Work-life balance” is an important thing too that startups, corporations and sometimes the government like to forget for people.
