definitely not!
Speaking from personal experience - I went from totally fucking off (working like 10hrs a week) to working as a carpenter for years. Then I got interested in random shit online and made the leap from carpentry to working in marketing/jack of all trades for tech experiments and companies.
I was 25 when I made the leap from carpentry to what I do now. I had no clue what the fuck was going to happen. I just felt like it was the right leap to make.

Last summer I finished my masters degree in Library Science, a field completely different to what I studied in undergrad and have been doing in my career since. I was so afraid of making the leap and leaving my current job that I put off looking for a library job until I graduated.When I finally started searching I was terrified of the prospect of a new job and potentially a move. Within a few months I landed my dream job and I will be moving halfway across the state and starting a new job in a few short weeks. This change has been years of hard work, anxiety, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome but I truly would not change it for the world. Taking that leap to do something out of left field can feel incredibly daunting, but through change comes growth and through growth we find ourselves and the lives we want to lead.

too many people think they're too cool to really tell someone you FUCK WITH THE VISION. like give and let that person know you think what they do is sick. As a kid, you know you remember how big it was to catch a compliment especially when it came to expressing yourself.
be a fan. be corny. be genuine. be in the moment

being open to seeing the small details and beauties of everyday life. I feel like trying to remind myself to view the world this way has helped with both happiness and creativity.
The world is filled with immense emotion and to be able to feel that is beautiful

incredible collage style documentary exploring how LA has been portrayed in films and thought about within a cultural lens.
The whole movie is made of clips from films. 10/10 recommend
