“A friend said to me, what’s your passion, and I said, ‘Oh I don’t know, I’m just bringing in money to pay the bills.’ It got me thinking, why am I doing what I’m doing, if I’m not really enjoying it? Is it just until I do something else?
And if so, what is that, and why can’t I do it now, why do I have to wait?”
