Making Kombucha. Or working at a brand that makes it. I brew my own. I love it. So that’s kinda the next step for me.

I kinda wish I’d gone into industrial design so I could make toys for a living. I think that’s my dream job.

If I got laid off and had to find work? Probably a high school English teacher. Or manage a bar.

Therapist or mailman.

I think about becoming a therapist often too. Especially since that’s so much of my job already.

Dish washer. I find it therapeutic.

Honestly, there are times I wish I’d become an accountant so that I’d have more energy for creative playtime.
