Hello everyone, I need your help and advice.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about quitting my job, but I’m scared because I don’t know if my art can actually support me financially. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to pursue art as a living, but I keep doubting if my work is even worth anything.

The reason this has been on my mind so much is because my job has been causing me a lot of stress. It’s getting to the point where it’s affecting me physically and I’ve been struggling to even eat properly. I know that wanting to shift careers isn’t enough on its own, and that I still need to put in a lot of effort to make it work.

I’m sorry if this comes across as desperate or immature. I just feel overwhelmed right now and don’t know what to do. I’m scared that if I quit and pursue art, I might not be able to pay my bills.

I really just needed to let this out, and I’m hoping your thoughts or advice might help me clear my mind. Thank you.
