No Passion.

Apologies for the vent-y blog post but I want to hear other peoples perspective on this. I haven't had a real goal in life since I was in 9th grade. I used to have a big passion for art and wanted to work in the animation industry. Since then though, I've realized I didn't have the drive or the abilities to pursue that. I've never found another thing to work towards in my life. I'm stagnant. I feel like nothing excites me career-wise or life-wise. But I'm tired of being stuck where I'm at now. Jumping retail job, living day by day and rotting in my room at my moms house.

I need to move on, do something different. I don't know where to start though. I could go to college or trade school. I don't know what I'd study. I don't have any particular talents or interest that could apply. Where do I start in looking for something new and fulfilling?

forget your motivation or drive to do it, are you still interested in art and making art? if yes, then keep doing your art but take it slow, make it a small side hustle, doing commissions for people or something. if no, then keep searching and searching. stick to your retail jobs for the minute, as the thing you fall back to, the main thing providing you with money and stuff, and find a good side hustle. look into things like maybe theatre or music or writing or fashion, or even outside the art world like certain sports or different trades or camping and outdoor recreation like mountain climbing or hiking or birdwatching, or really anything. anything at all. remember this is your life, its in your hands, your arms your legs your head your hair your personality all you, they take you places, always always always take advantage of every potential opportunity you can find. wishing you all the best, hoping this helped in some way xx

as of now art is just a hobby (although i don't do it as much as i used to) i've been pretty demotivated with everything lately. i know i want to get out of this cycle. hopefully this will give me a little bit of a kick in the pants to do more things instead of moping around all day. thank you for this <3
