WHETHER Skilled or not
I think work is not part of a horror movie
In fact being part of a horror movie in a movie theatre makes a wonderful day out
So dreams are not nightmares but memories of good time with people new to us and not the creepy things we saw on screen
Horror is just not being part of any work
Work is part of real time ideas
Work is how handy we get with creativity
Work is work we shared with non but believed was great work
Work is part of the new things we introduce ourselves to, not understanding almost what we got ourselves into but still do research both in the internet and within ourselves later
Work is the paint we waste drawing art that we do not share with anyone, the papers we tear down trying to compose what we are composed of and still trash masterpieces because we believe there is still more
Work is going to places pitching ideas to panels that promise to get back to you when actually you get back to yourself instead
Work is not looking at what people have done with contempt but being inspired from their stories for a better version of yourself
Work is absconding road trips, birthday parties and events for workshops on skills you are eyeing for,

Work is what you implement after surfing through Pinterest
Work is the nights you sleep late because you were brushing on your portfolio before you can do someone else's job
Work is when we enjoy deploying ideas that cannot put us on payrolls because we will design the payrolls ourselves
Work is a new skill we learn after declaring we knew the skill, we have lances we can shoot the stars, we are freelancers
Work is going to listen to people talk on issues some of which we do not understand but still pick skills on how to express yourself because we went to workshops discussing rocket science when the organizers were not part of NASA,
So whether skilled or not, employed or not, work on yourself
A job is doing someone else's work
Its sad most of us do not have work but a job
