Hey Kern,
Couldn't have said it all better myself — thank you. So much of writing (and life in general) is about making concessions and making deliberate priorities with such. I LOVE the way you put all of this.
Definitely some truth 💣 here.
I've been making money freelancing as well as with my blogging and I know the struggle and what it takes, glad to see others like you express it.
Cheers,
Jon
