Di rinascita, sei mesi later.
This time, little more than six months later, my reflection will be much more serene and highly polished. Finally free from that sense of intolerable, intolerance, and - let's face it - even to claim! Why
addition to the famous "one door closes, it opens a door" , I also believe another proverb that says "everyone is master of its own destiny" . We firmly believe, and I think I can say that my whole life is an example.
Then it may happen that - at some point in your life - you can accept a compromise, one of the big ones. Why should we dare alle cose il loro vero nome, e quantomeno io ho l'onestà di chiamarlo per ciò che è stato.
Che poi all'inizio, con un entusiasmo che mi ero comunque voluto dare, ho pensato realmente di poter cambiare le cose, ma questa sarebbe un'altra storia.
Può quindi succedere che tu possa accettare (commettendo un errore solo tuo) un incarico che sai da subito essere troppo "stretto" per te, con cui entrerai inevitabilmente in conflitto, ma per il quale in quel momento ti dai mille giustificazioni, tentando un'impossibile assoluzione. C'è tanta crisi in giro, e sarebbe uno schiaffo alla miseria rifiutare un lavoro del genere. O sono mesi che magari fatturi poco o niente, e sei oppresso da un senso of responsibility that you did not know, because it just got a new mouth to feed, and excessive sense of duty to it can also obscure your ability to judge in their career.
But for those who are used to - like many of us - to carry the banner of his "authorial ego, to affix his signature on the cover of a book on a weekly, on a national campaign brand ... what can last a compromise?
How long can you last before that blessed / cursed ego (which is often a lifeline) brings you back to reality?
you push for full acceptance / admission Your real error of assessment?
took me eight months!
What will be few or too many will not know.
But I still have eight, which - in terms of total annihilation of imagination, stimulating creativity, experimentation, research, enthusiasm and freedom - in fact have been too many.
Well, then I have already answered yourself.
Let's face it: the signals coming from your mind clear.
When you look in the mirror and you are not satisfied with yourself, you can not lie.
The seed of awareness grew from the third (!) Months I was there, that is, from February 2010: first signs of that conflict I mentioned earlier, the first symptoms of a bearing already reached its limit.
The first few days of last June, that seed was already fully developed.
no coincidence that I wrote these words on my blog .
was, in fact already exhaustively clear that I signed a second time, provided that they had brought me (and in that case would be their choice, on which I could not have a say) , but on my choice, and had still been taken. In reality, well before June.
otherwise would not make sense to look around, send updated portfolio, beat in setting interviews. If you do not even reject other proposed work (as I wrote here in mid-May) now realizing that I had the same identical issues, the same kind of dissatisfaction, the same kind of intolerance that arise from working for a company owner.
If you move, you have to do with a coherent logic to your choice.
If you have to move, too (do not deny it!) With some concern that the risk margin that you need to calculate, you do so carefully and thoughtfully, avoiding ending up "from the frying pan into the fire" and not have solved anything! Why
faced with a radical choice that you require, especially if you have a certain age, a family and a house to keep (if that is not just say to yourself as an eternal adolescent) think we should really brave. To give up the comfortable armchair for the "employee of the Mac" subject to the moody mood of your title, ordered in time 9.00/18: 00 with your stipendiuccio fixed later this month in favor of the more complete uncertainty about what will come.
So correct me.
not just about having courage (which is often simple unconsciousness): it comes to having the balls!
This (re) to stand up anywhere around you when you are asked to be bent to ninety.
But, despite those who remain in the warm safety of its annihilation may think that you are crazy, even though deep down (when its time to look in the mirror) envy or even admire the fact that you are free again, your opportunity since then become potentially infinite and its no , you just do it.
And the way it will not be quick.
There will be some time before you can actually reap the fruits of your rebirth.
But you do it. And wait - with confidence (in your skills ) - that give you the time is right.
In fact, since then this time it was more lenient than I could imagine the same. Why
from late July to early November, just four months. Intense, but four. Puglia in August inclusive.
And you get to full capacity in late January 2011, there are only six. Six months
where you able to change what you had intended.
to raise your professional standards, finding that fantasy, the creative impulse, that experimentation, the research, enthusiasm and the freedom of the above. Freedom to do everything. Freedom you crave, such as air to give the best of yourself. In order to live better. Because in the end it is experiencing better quality of life you choose, which, paradoxically, find the right balance responsibilities in those famous (and not just as a father) that I misled you in spite of themselves, making you commit errors of evaluation mentioned above. Then we said
"six months after" . I was talking just
in this post.
Where I concluded that it would be interesting to draw at least a point on the situation between those who remained static compared to six months ago (in the same chair, with the same salary, with the same frustrations and the same Sbrocchi, because in the meantime will not be in there changed a comma) and who decided to turn the street. Maybe
establishing a new and dynamic partnership with a brand of clothing that is the antithesis of what I used to work before, so it is bursting at the level of grafiche, di valori e di impatto comunicativo?
Magari creando un nuova linea di felpe e t-shirts per conto di un'azienda già presente da vent'anni sul mercato, nel settore maglieria, che ti affida l'intero progetto di una collezione in cotone interamente ideata/sviluppata/gestita da te, contando da subito sulla sua rete vendita nazionale?
O ancora, magari firmando un contratto con una grande azienda del nord per la quale - indirettamente - avevi già lavorato, ma che stavolta ti chiama senza nessun mediatore di mezzo, in un rapporto diretto tra loro e te basato sulla totale autonomia gestionale/creativa (lavorando da Roma con i tuoi orari e i tuoi metodi) per la quale ti pagano più del doppio di quanto non prendevi standing from morning to evening in the Stalag ?
And still find time to work on your second graphic novel for your new editor, to write music, design of other comics with other authors, and God knows what else! ;)
So, my friends, we really want to get them some respect?
Especially from the perspective of those who chose to rise up, to go forward, groped - risking the first person in the flesh, not on the other - other ways of working and dignity '.
Yes, of course: then the fool I am.
But so be it madness, if it means in opposition to mediocrity.
"Eccoci, ecco chi vive la vita così la catalizza dentro attimi,
eccoci siamo noi che passiamo dal peggio al meglio,
siamo noi che ricominciamo più forti, più forti di prima,
domani saremo più forti di ora,
di ora in ora perchè è la vita che scorre
il prossimo passo lo puoi soltanto supporre"…
