>>6948514You have a lot to be thankful for right now, because it sounds like you have a lot of freedom.. the kind of freedom that comes with being young that a person does not appreciate until they're much older.
As you get older, you'll be thankful for your job. The reality is that most people can't be true creatives for their living - we need to have an income to pay bills, save for the future, etc.
More importantly, when your passion becomes your job, you typically start disliking it.
I grew up a musician. Had dreams of doing nothing but that for a living. Instead, went to college, got a good job. My friends today that took the path of doing nothing but music, most of them hate it by now. We're in our mid-thirties. Many of them treat having to record another album or do yet another tour as a tedious chore.
I still play for fun, still play out once in a while. But if you expect anything from art - you expect too much.
