Right now in my life, I have reached a fork. I can either follow my dream and create amazing art (photographs) or follow through with the safe 9 to 5 job and progress through the ranks of the company hunting and climbing to reach new heights in different companies. Before I go in and talk about the details about my options, let's get into how I reached this point.

As of lately, both my retail and service jobs have been giving me way more hours than I asked for. They have been ignoring my requested time off and double scheduling me so I'm expected to be in two places at once. Now all of these are common issues when you work two jobs but where the big problem comes in is the requested time, not to take a vacation or anything like that, but to work as a photographer effects is my dream job. My heart lies with photography and these jobs are costing me freelancing jobs as well as huge income opportunities.

So that's how I found myself at this point where something must change. My two jobs offer a stable paycheck but lack the freedom to express myself. On the other hand, freelance photography may not offer stable income but allow me to express myself experiment in the world of entrepreneurs. There is huge room for error compared to my retail and service job but I feel it's sucking the life out of me. It's consuming my life and closing off my creative mind. I know it's not the right environment for me to progress myself in but jobs and money are hard to come by these days and I'm lucky enough to have two fantastic jobs.

Although it may be hard to leave the comfort of a 9-5 job because that stable income means so much. I think I will be alright. I feel my ability to create will be unleashed with a higher drive than ever because after this point I have to make it. If I don't, I can't survive and that's driving the heck out of me.
