Girl, I am also 29 years old and quit my job as an operating room nurse a year ago to pursue art!! I was a nurse for 5 years so it was so scary to make that decision. And I completely relate to being drawn to painting nature since we don't have much time outside working as nurses :') Your cinematography + edits are beautiful and I love your aesthetic and art, I'm rooting for you :D thank you for sharing your story, I feel less alone :D

[clothesandchoreo]

I've just rather dramatically quit my job because I just hit a wall. I was in crisis personally and wasn't getting enough sleep to cope. It's a hard situation to go through.

I wish you luck with your business.

I love this video so much, Angela!!! Well done on your first try at sticker sheets. They look great!! (If you don't mess up a bunch of times, are you even a sticker shop owner?? 😂😂😂

Don't be embarrassed or worried about your decision. It's actually the hardest thing to do what's right for your mind and caring for yourself first, but it's the right thing! I'm looking forward to watching more and checking out your shop soon!🥰

Welcome to small biz world!

i quit my job to go back to my passion of film and tv / health and wellness i want to be a production company CEO that creates stories that actually have meaning and help people and hope foster a positive working environment not a toxic ones that are currently in the industry

[RachelJacksonArt]

TIL that nurses in the US earn about four times what nurses in the UK do haha.

[beardedchild]

Its for sure a big step and I hope and pray you do well. I'll for sure buy MORE of your art in the near future. I myself have my dream job and some days, weeks and months get very hectic. Just this year, even though I've taken vacation days, I feel like I haven't have real time to breathe since June. It's stressful work and I'm not my own boss but at the end of it all, I love it.

I hope you do very well as your work brought me peace in tough times.

My advice to you is even when you're your own boss now, take breaks haha.

I know many people who work for themselves and they overwork to exhaustion because they want perfection. Be realistic about deadlines or anything like that.

As psychiatric nurse I'm sure you're well aware of all this but it's good to get a reminder.

Anyways, I'm here to follow your journey can't wait for more content!
