Ya ya, it’s New Years Eve. Whoopdie fricken doo. I hate holidays. I hate Fridays. I hate vacations.
I have work to do. And I’m excited about my work. Every day I’m supposed to relax is a day I can’t get things done. And that, my friend, is why I hate holidays.
I’m convinced if you’re doing something you’re passionate about, you’ll hate taking breaks. You’ll hate going to sleep while that painting is half completed. You’ll hate eating lunch while you’re before you’ve closed the </html> tag on your unfinished website. The world needs folks who are passionate enough about what they do, that they hate holidays.
And I, I hate holidays.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t take them. I’m taking tomorrow off. I’m deciding to intentionally pull myself away from my passions to foster a bit of sanity within my life. It’s vital.
That doesn’t mean I won’t be thinking about the launch of the eleventh issue of Sunday| Mag. That doesn’t mean I won’t be anxious to check my emails and tweets. But I’m going to spend time with my wife. I’m going to foster relationships over my passionate projects.
So here’s the balance I think all of us artists need. We need to hate holidays. But we need to force ourselves to take them.
Are you going to take tomorrow off?
Finally someone who feels the same as I do. I mean I don’t hate holidays, but when I’m doing a project that I’m passionate about, I can’t sleep.. I work through lunch.. I go to bed with my laptop.. And work there.. Because I’m so excited about the project, that I just can’t put it down.. Whether its a website launch, or a clients photos I’m editing, whatever it may be.. If I’m excited about it, I can’t put it down.. I’m glad someone else feels that way!!
