It’s time to try and earn through vocation. If I’m truly honest with myself I think I’ve known that I should have done it for some time now, but I’ve been too scared and the past few years have been bumpy.
I don’t have kids, plus both the hand I’ve been dealt and the way in which I’ve played it has meant that I don’t have a house to pay for. I have been too wrapped up in keeping up with the Joneses that I haven’t seen the situation for what it actually is: the perfect opportunity to do something different. Something I want to do, as opposed to something I have to in order to pay for stuff to distract me from the realisation that the life I have isn’t the one I want, or even working toward the one I want.
A lot of ground work will be needed over the coming months before anything actually happens. The road ahead is long and difficult, but the destination is clear.
So that’s why a few months ago I changed jobs, and went down to a part time position that will pay just enough to keep the wolf from the door, so that the extra time on my hands I can use to do what I want.
If you’ll join me, I want to invite you all on the journey that will hopefully culminate in an amended vision for The Halfling’s Rest, the boardgame store that never was.
