Lately, I’ve been turning my love for vintage finds and costume design into a small side hustle selling curated pieces online and doing custom commissions. It started as pure fun, but now that it’s gaining traction, I’m worried it might start feeling like just another job. How do you keep the creative spark alive when your passion project starts to feel like work?
I’d love to hear how others balance structure with spontaneity. Do you set aside time just for playful experimentation, or do you let inspiration strike organically? Maybe there’s a trick to reframing the grind as part of the creative process. Any vintage enthusiasts or fellow collectors found ways to keep their hustle feeling fresh?
