At first l was going to disagree. I thought about my life and the choice to give up an advertising career for a career in music. I remembered my passion for music was not the reason I made this decision, so l was going to say this is not true. It then dawned on me l did and do have a passion for freedom of lifestyle. I like to get up when l wish and eat when I wish, and pretty much do what l want when l want, and l enjoyed traveling around the country. It was an adventure as well as a job. Without being independently wealthy, music was the next best choice. I loved playing music, but real passion for the music developed later.

I found meaning in typing this post. I will probably have forgotten I even found that meaning by this time tomorrow. But it is sufficient.
