Absolutely 100%. I love doing what I do and wouldn't choose another career. I love to love and I love to play.
Yes I have. It's made me extremely sad in the past. I've realized though not everyone is going to understand. I love doing what I do and the real ones always have my back. The ones that have stigmatized me weren't really friends in the first place.
Sometimes I care way too much and give way too many chances when I should just cut my losses and walk away. I'm working on it though !!! Perhaps I'm a little bit of a hopeless romantic.
