It's truly wonderful to achieve such a milestone. I believe many of my issues would disappear if I could stay in one hob for a long time. Having a stable position to work from is invaluable, and I’m really happy for you. I wish I could have a similar experience because, in my opinion, freelance work isn't a traditional job.
I feel like freelance is my achievement, and I have done it for 5 years (I dropped several times, but returned, and this is another achievement for me, not to drop every job I have)))) However, freelancing can be isolating, and it’s tough to go without income some months due to the unpredictable flow of orders.
Your story is definitely inspirational. I hope that one day I can find a stable job and stick with it.
