it's your life

When I was working at an investment bank, people would say, "Patrick, stop working so hard, you're a workaholic. You're too career and money-oriented."

Now that I'm not working and relaxing and reading books on philosophy and art history, people say, "Patrick stop being a slacker. Get a job."

Everyone's a critic and no one's ever happy. Do what makes you happy. Don't justify the way you choose to live your life.

"This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst then be false to any man."

– William Shakespeare
