labour of love

“Unyoking your love from your job—fundamentally an economic transaction—frees up your energy to put work into your relationships and your community, inside the workplace and out. It also, crucially, frees you up to put work into loving and caring for yourself, and pursuing the things that make you more of who you are.”

This entire essay is wonderful and I'll be rereading it and thinking about it in the days to come.
