When crafting stopped...

I used to crochet a lot. Many years, I thought crochet as my passion and life.
Then, I stopped crocheting. Just like that. My Etsy shop used up my savings for listing and re-listing.
The realization kind of sucks: Crochet is not bringing an income for me to survive.

Did I stop ten feet away from gold???? I don't know.

One thing I know is I am working at my day job more often than I used to. There is no regrets about the work days now.
Am I getting mature??? That may be the case right?

Working for some one is not that pleasing. At work, I can see that I am constantly compared with the other assistants in the office.
The more mature and older me can stand it and take the comments like I am actually a second grade person. (While laughing in my mind "I am seeing a failed manager here.")

Then, my living room is more safer without yarns and hooks. I have more time to read and blog. 
Wow! There is a life outside social media and business promoting. Facebook is unchecked for several days... 
I am not accumulating more crafting material and books. 
I have to tell you... I didn't miss Etsy. I don't feel the constant nagging thought of failure.  
If I want to the yarn, the beads, the hooks, the wire, the card...just within reach. I feel more content and happy.
