I’m in my mid 20s and thought getting a 9-5 would make me feel like I got my life together but after a few months I am so miserable and I want to leave. I’ve always been a creative person and had some success with it in my teens, then life got in the way and I barely have time to do what I love anymore. I feel like I’ve always known that I want to fully focus on my creative self but I would get scared about the money aspect and back out. Recently I’ve been going back and forth where I’m motivated to quit then I would fall back into the hole again convincing myself I can stay a little longer at my job because the money is great. I feel like I’ve finally reached that point where I am sure I want to be unemployed and explore my creative self but those doubts are still stopping me. I have a savings so I have some type of back up but this is still so scary to me and I don’t know what the right thing to do is. I’ve tried to do my hobby on the side after work but it is so hard to stay on top of anything when you get home at 6pm. I genuinely feel like I have time for 1 thing after work and cooking dinner is unfortunately under that category. Also with everyone saying the economy is so bad right now “don’t quit your jobs” I’m even more torn. But how would I know if I never try… idk it’s a constant battle in my head ….. any advice?
