... work, making a living from it was a different challenge altogether so much so that I began taking on part-time jobs at the age of 40. That is fine by me, but because I love this work, I aspire to transition into a professional career.

... just drifts with the wind and lands gently. It exists in the moment. The Power of Tiny Pain Points I've noticed something funny. My friends' phones are full of "life-changing" apps the same ones I used to aspire to build.
