least sexy

There’s been a cool thing that’s happened over the past couple years: chasing your dreams has become sexy. We’ve become people who aren’t content working 9-5 just to pay the bills. Instead, we want to feel like we’re making an impact. Or we want to actually make an impact. Millenials, for all their shortcomings, are a generation who would rather take less money and do what they believe in than make more by working a job they hate. And that’s awesome. What we tend to forget to talk about is the unsexy side of chasing your dreams. The times we get told no. The ways negative news tends to come all at once. The emotional roller coaster of the process. Last week I had a hard day. The reality of losing half my income in three weeks started to hit home and I got scared.
