Hey, I did the exact same thing!!!!! The only difference was I was already writing and doing social media for other clients! I admire your courage though and I have to admit, I respect anyone who is willing to follow their true passion! You deserve my upvote (I think I was able to add around $40 just now....) I think I already voted for your witness too.....let me check on that. 
Learning and passion over drudgery!!!!! You've chosen to be ALIVE.
