#ahhthhhhghhghfjhj what do i have to do to fund my own projects

[em-dashes]

guys i've been my own boss for so long that the prospect of going back to work full time is honestly making me very annoyed. i just want to write my stories and make my own animated short film. i don't want to animate things that have to match somebody else's vision. i didn't realize how creatively free i felt during this break until today, when i got back to work, and i kept finding myself being frustrated that i have to animate something that isn't mine. i know part of this is just me having to get back in the groove of working, and i also know this is the only way i'll make a liveable wage, and i know turning down the job now would be a bad move because we're in a recession and we have to take what we can get, BUT LIKE. i'm just. feeling so annoyed right now
