I love that you've never been subjected to a 9 to 5 job! It's almost always a toxic environment, there are lessons to be gleaned there but there's also the threat of being lulled into a false sense of security and losing years of your life to the job before you wake up.

When we're young we assume adults have it all figured out (at least I did). Back then I had no idea that most adults are riddled with so many insecurities and those who appear to have it all figured out are nearly always "faking it until they make it". I wish I would have had that knowledge when I was younger. I would have taken more chances on things like you did with your teaching and freelancing. Thanks for contributing this week!
