Here’s everything I loved, hated, and learned in my time as a freelancer:
I loved how flexible my working hours were. As a freelancer, I mostly stuck to traditional work hours so my free time lined up with when my partner and friends were also off. But knowing that I didn’t *have to* stick to a schedule really freed me up to take better care of myself. For example, I’ve always had trouble sleeping and waking up, so being able to sleep in after a rough night made a huge difference to me. Plus, I could go grocery shopping and run errands during off-hours and hit the gym in the middle of the day, and I only had to answer to myself.
I missed the camaraderie of having work friends, but being alone more was actually kinda good for my other relationships.
