Welcome to my channel💕 This is where I get to be creative and also have fun with art. I’m so excited for you to join me in this journey! Comment in any of my videos and I’ll try my best to get to know you all!
i've been wanting to go back to school for creative writing at 27 and i know people in my life mean well when they tell me it's silly and a waste of money to go back to school for "a job that won't pay the bills, starving artist, etc" but videos like these make me want to do the jump and do it
thank you for making this video, it makes me feel understood... (we even have the same age, majored same course while favouring art haha) & im sure this video also makes you feel less lonely finding out there's people out there who feel almost the same way as you 🖤 as for me, i have been thinking about things you've said like "hard work = more work", "being slave at work" etc etc even during my high school years, so it makes me feel pessimistic about the future from younger age & even makes me ruin it... atm im trying to recollect pieces by pieces, to restart my life again one step at a time, all the best to both of us 🖤 and for me, even i didnt end up working on my uni course, i nvr felt all those times as a waste, since i learnt a lot of things even about life (since i ended up getting severe burnout & it's not all bad, since this helps me to understand myself more & i doubt i'll experience this if i took things i like) & im sure, the best choice is the one i took, so there's a reason why i ended up in the major even i like art more... also the route that i didnt took won't always mean it is better isn't it 🤞 also have you ever read 'welcome to the hyunam-dong bookshop' by hwang boreum? if you haven't, i really want to recommend you this book since it helps me a lot in my healing journey as i find some chars to be very relatable, it gave me new perspective to look at & also helps me to accept my life the way it is rn even more 😊 another book that i'd like to recommend is 'what are you looking for is in the library' by michiko aoyama

Your little person with the flashlight reminds me of the opening from the "NBC Mystery Movie" back in the day, which consisted of shows like "Columbo" and "Quincy". In the opening, a guy walks toward the camera surrounded by a dusky scene behind him, and holding a flashlight which shines into the camera, as the names and posters from the featured shows flash by in the periphery. It's all very mysterious, and thus sets a great mood for watching each featured show. I think it's on RU-vid if you want to check it out. Your painting sets up a similar feeling, only with nature playing a bigger role.
I recently packed up my recording studio dreams, after spending 14 years learning how to do it right, owning a commercial space, it has been my life long passion, about 10 months ago I gave up and got a corporate job. The corporate job pays me multiples of what I ever made in the studio, and its work from home. They fly me to hotels for things and pay for my meals during those events, it’s a real, grown up job. But I miss how creating something made me feel. I told my colleague that I felt as though music was trying to pull me back in, and sometimes I pick up my guitar and I simply can’t put it down, but I need to provide for my family. And I simply don’t fit in with these workaholics. I can get those tasks done, but those who give themselves to this life look so sad, and I’m terrified I’m going to wake up at 45, worried about a deadline for an industry I made myself care about out of necessity. I’m 26 now. 19 years before I wake up and majority of life has passed. I don’t think I can let that happen to me. I did a painting on the flight back from the last conference and the school girl sitting next to me nervously told me she thought it was “so cool” and I thanked her and then promptly said it wasn’t that good (artists, you get me) and that small exchange was more emotionally rewarding than any of the things I’d done the last 5 days. A demographic completely different to my own, connected by art. It’s more valuable than money but I can’t pay anything with emotional response. The fact I need to work and save consistently for 40 years to have enough time to do things I like is depressing, but without that my daughter will be disadvantaged and that is so much more important than myself. This is an inspiring story but it makes me deeply sad that I can’t personally give myself in to the abyss of creativity without socially drowning. It also makes me sad to think about all the art that could have been made in the billions of hours worked daily by people who believe they’ve got nothing to offer. This is the apocalypse I have to ignore to get through my day
You are so courageous and authentic. I'm an engineer who, after working for a while, feel a pull towards my true creative self as well. Videos like this are soo helpful and make me feel less alone. Thank you and best wishes to you! <3 Your art is beautiful and it's so great to see people happy and pursuing happiness in the present.
I really don't get why americans calculate salaries in x per year or x per hour.... It doesn't say anything. Do you pay bills per year or per hour? No, pay bills per month so why when someone asks about salary, why people doesn't say "I get x per month". $104,880 per year .. it says nothing, is that $8,740 per month? Is that before taxes or the take home amount?
“Hard work is rewarded with more work”. I felt that! I have been feeling very similar in my career. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Wishing you all the best!
@@caitlincadden6002 no worries, I don’t think I clarified this in the video but definitely 500 is not sustainable by itself but I gave myself a year to try to pursue art and had saved up money to support myself from my previous job. I already set the expectation that if I still don’t make enough money by the end of the year, I will go back to work. Hope this clears things 🤗
This was very good. Thank you for sharing. I can relate to the corporate life for two decades. The break is allowing,e to heal physically and emotionally. I don’t feel weird now. Thank you again 👍
Thank you for this video. Also went to school for Electrical engineering. I just made a year at my corporate job and the feelings of anxiety, longing, calling for something else are louder than ever. I make music when I can. This video gave me hope that I will find the courage to live a more artful life. until then I’ll just save up for it 😂.
