I have been around freelancing for a while, but the truth is it started from a place I never understood. Back when I moved to another city for college, I realized how everyone was hustling nonstop, and not in the “work hard” way, but in the way where you always have to be on guard. No morals, no calm, just survival. I never wanted to be that guy.

Confronting people was always a weak spot for me, even with my parents. Maybe that pushed me into freelancing, but the same issue followed me there too. I avoided clients, avoided gigs, avoided anything that felt like pressure. And now it shows. I know I could make more, but I’ve been lazy and comfortable.

Sometimes it feels like I’m full of myself, like I just want to open League and forget everything. Maybe this whole post is just a way to remind myself why I feel stuck, and why I do things the way I do.

Hope you find this post realise what you are in for.
