Terrified of following my passion.
Title says it all.
I hate my current job. It pays well and there’s career growth that is attractive but I hate it. I’m stuck in an office 24/7.
My previous career, I was working on live entertainment productions. It was hard work, but the rush was amazing. Being behind the scenes and having the crowd cheer at the end of the night, I felt so fulfilled.
I ended up switching due to finances and politics.
I’m considering switching back but I’m terrified.
I’m terrified that it’ll be a mistake.
For context, I’m alone, single, no family. I have no property, and basically live out of a suitcase due to the current potion. (Previous position was basically the same) I’m also 33.
For context, the previous position does not really have any financial growth, but the current one can grow +$3000.
My worry is that in the long run, I will not be able to support myself if I move back to following my passion. Especially if I eventually retire. But at the same time, I don’t feel fulfilled where I am currently.
I’m not lucky enough to have family to fall back to if my plan fails.
It’s terrifying. I’m terrified and not sure what to do. It’s giving me stress and anxiety. (On the upside, that’s forced me i

Trying to be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Not gonna lie, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s what makes this interesting. At least from my perspective.
this comes across more reactive than planned so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what changes the context.
At first glance, the timing matters more than people admit and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. At least from my perspective.
From a practical angle, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s where people will push back This probably isn’t the last word on it.
If you zoom out, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next. That’s the impression it gives me.
Putting bias aside, this depends heavily on what happens next and that tension shows up immediately This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Reaction: Weird question, but was the person who come up with the term, "love handles" a chubby chaser?
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That’s the key detail here. Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.
From a practical angle, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up. That’s just my read on it.
this feels rushed rather than thought through Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
I get the idea, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s what people are responding to This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Reaction: Mr. Obama, forgive me
the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable At least from my perspective.
Reaction: Comment thread I saw in the wild
At this point, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Interested to see the follow-up. That’s the impression it gives me.
this depends heavily on what happens next and that friction is hard to ignore We’ll see how people react over time.
On the surface, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out. This could age very differently in a week.
