i have to charge a respectable fee for the businessing. i'm valuing my time and effort.
i have to be clear about the money. i'm not doing this for free or for exposure.
glad my family has my back.
really just some disrespectful ways of talking about the compensation aspect. not professional, jonesing for free. this is freelancing, not volunteering. "not gonna get rich", "you'd get a gratuity", "good for resume", doing it as a charity rather than a job. yeah no this is me freelancing. didn't appreciate the tone it turned towards and remembered how vulnerable i am in that situation. its like my family was my union there tbh. i can't sell myself short.
in other news i am so delightfully catching my vibes.
