What a beautiful article with some niceties.

On freedom:

Enjoying the freedom to explore possibilities, and happily follow any compelling whim—that’s the blissful zen of a good side project.

On personal space and choices:

It’s having a carved-out space in your life where you, and only you, get to make the choices.

Nobody else. You might have to share everything outside this little room, but everything in here is yours and yours alone.

On listening to yourself:

You don’t have to listen to any other voices here, except that quiet one inside of you that’s gently urging you to do the thing you know you need to do. You don’t owe it to anyone to choose anything—except yourself, and what you honestly feel.

On direction and long term vision:

You don’t need to know where it’s going to lead. For that matter, it doesn’t have to lead anywhere. Nothing ever has to come of it

I loved this article and looking forward to more by the author!
