Merry Christmas!! Major Updates! Need your opinions!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas yesterday, I know I've been absent the last few weeks and I apologise. So much has happened and so much has changed just within one month. However I've missed you all greatly and it's been a battle not to toss aside all of my focus on my job to be with you guys get now and these past weeks. To be honest I greatly miss having commission and art opportunities full time. This new job is time expensive and patience consuming. It's hard getting any time back into anything else right now.
I'm debating leaving my job for a handful of reasons beyond what I've explained here, it just not the right job for me every time I think deep deep down about it. I just am not one for car sales. You have to dedicate soooo much time and effort to it to get even a handful of sales...and it's frustrating and isn't a happy experience at all.
So I'm debating going back to commissions full time and using my shop as a part time job. Recently I've had a lot of commission and shop repair requests under both of my company names...and I know if I set my mind to it, I could make a living between the two, especially with BitBite now working at Hot topic and the amazing support and help I've received from my Patreon (more about that soon, I know I'm a month behind).
I want your guys' opinions...what are your thoughts and suggestions? I want to be a good example for you guys, and I want to do what make sense, and not what kills me and my relationship with you all.

Don't let a bad job turn you into a sales leezurd.. They give terrible hugs. Also better to admit it's not for you and leave on goo'd terms than put it off and get even more frustrated.

Draw your blade. Tear through adversity. Become unassailable to anything the universe DARES throw at you.

That being said; Do not sacrifice a guaranteed income that has historically kept you stable enough, for an income that is in no way able to support you in a stable way. If it IS feasibly possible to support you easily, then by all means make art your true profession. But if you're barely making it by on your day-job, then switching to a highly erratic income model can end in disaster. I think you've gone through enough disaster. As always, the choice is yours. Draw your blade.
