I felt that I am more like a machine than a human, working everyday even at weekends. Answering phone calls in the same way, repeat the same words to different people.

And I understand I can not relax, if I travelling for 1 month, my client will not find me and they will hire other people. That is the sadness of being a freelancer, more successful you are, you have to work more hours each day, you just can not stop.

But I am really tired of working everyday, and even think if one day I sleep and never wake up will be a happy ending for me.

It happens to all professions, at all stages of life. One day you would ask yourself: What's all the hassle about?
