This is probably the best comment I've received so far!

It's great to meet someone who seems to understand me so well.

I feel like letting my parents, I mean father - and all those other parents who have still got their heads stuck in the 70s/ 80s - read this, to actually understand me/ our generation.

For your information, I also quit my job as a teacher in July 2016, just before I went to the Canary Islands. I did this to recharge my empty batteries and rediscover my creativity. My aim was to make a feature and this transformed into my Spanish feature film project.

Especially my father found it very hard to understand my decision. Even more because - after three years of struggling - I was finally offered a permanent contract. Something that is pretty normal in The Netherlands. That was exactly the reason why I quit: I was afraid quitting would be even harder with a permanent contract, didn't want to loose my freedom. Besides all that, I didn't like my job enough. It drained me (from my creativity) and I was close to a burnout.

In that case too, quitting was the right decision. Now, a year and a half later, I feel Steemit - and investing in cryptocurrency - has started to become my savior/ lifebuoy :)

I must congratulate you with sticking to your student film and actually finishing it. I worked on a short film for 8 months, back in 2010-11 and that felt like ages. I followed it up with 9 short films in a year in 2012. Back then, I actually finished films, haha!
