I've... never really understood why people always have to monetize themselves and their passions. It's very weird in my view.

Cause money is the ultimate reward.

See, I hate money. I know it's important in the societies we have, but I would rather do something for myself or for someone because I could/wanted.

The other day, I fixed a computer owned by a nice lady I work with. She offered to pay me and everything. I just told I like doing this stuff for the funsies.

Selling yourself in this day and age has got to stop. You are more than an imaginary made up figure of commerce.
