My mom.
Yeah.
And it was definitely over some trivial stuff.
It’s okay.
Life happens.
Being in a family business just means you have to know when to separate the work from real life.

What I Studied in School Vs. What I Do Now
What I studied in school:
Industrial Design
What I do now (2.5 years graduated):
By day, marketing and operations at our hole-in-the-wall fast food restaurant
By night, building workshops that support the creative growth of new designers and freelancers
Life never said it would be linear.
I think that’s the fun part.
Things I thought mattered in life but later learned do not
- good grades
- permission to start something out of the ordinary
- grammar (you can get away with good-enough grammar, and even more if it’s conversational)
- other people’s opinions
- doing things right the first time
- job titles
- any form of perfectionism
What I Studied Vs. What I Do Now
What I studied: design
What I do now: restaurant operations and marketing by day, building a special community of creative people by night
Life isn’t always linear (and that’s the fun of it)
Life is A Zigzag
Some people expect life to be a series of upward steps after graduation.
I like to think that life is one long zigzag of everything, especially after graduation.
There is no linear.
What’s More Worth It?
This is a question I ask myself every day. What’s more worth it?
Doing the work you actually want to be doing and living through the life/career pains and switches to get there,
Or,
Living the next 25 years of your life in fear that what you want to do is impractical, then regretting for the proceeding 10 years that you never gave it a proper chance.
(I think both are terrifying).
