You don’t. You should be jaded. it’s a logical response to an industry that treats people like set dressing. The sooner we stop romanticizing the chaos, the sooner we might actually fix it.
It’s wild how this industry can give you career highs and existential dread in the same week. I've learned to treat each project like it’s a stepping stone. I pour into the work, but I no longer expect stability from a system built on short contracts and shifting budgets. Side hustles, freelancing, etc. help me keep that stability.
I think what really helps me is after work distractions. Try not to think about it when I’m not on the clock, it really helps process everything I do in the day and disconnect from the stress of it all.
It’s such a difficult situation to be in and I think every freelance in this industry has been there. The best thing to do is just keep building the connections, have side hustle jobs to keep the money flowing- I work at a pub in between jobs!
It’s hard but always keep actively searching for the work and there will be long term contracts in the future!
