Capitalism and pay me for my work: My struggle with the nuances therein.

> How I broke my ankle

> Feeling less alone by listening to the stories of others

> How much I make as a nurse

> I started a Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Christabelmintahgalloway. Become a patron if you’ll like to support me monetarily. 

> Why I priced/tiered my Patreon the way I did and why I need to keep my 9-5 job

> Can I make a living doing what I love

> Are these questions as a result of my indoctrination into capitalism

> I don’t want to be a starving artist; I did enough starving in my childhood to last a lifetime

> Why I would charge more for my time than a hospital pays me on the hour.

> I had my first ever speaking gig yesterday speaking at a local college.

> Ultimately, I’m choosing to face the work. The work is what I love and what I’ll focus on.
