Okay so i went to artschool/college for years and I was making good money and all everything was good i saw a bright future for me in this field..

anyways then ai dropped and after it progressed I lost most of my clients who would get professional illustration/concept art done from me, so i switched to marketing after college and stopped illustrating as there was no more work for me… i have been working as an art director now for a small company.

Recently I got a job offer to work for a company as an illustrator and the pay was surprisingly good…
When inquired about this job i found out they want to know about my design process A to Z how i develop my illustrations from concept to choosing this and that blah blah yk everything… i got so excited that maybe finally someone wants to appreciate organic work and i will get a chance to do what i love again. They asked if i can draw in different styles i said yes and as i was going through the test tasks i found out that its a job to train ai… THIS IS WHY THEY WERE PAYING SO MUCH😣 to feed my work to ai and to teach it to draw like a human.

I was SO PISSED OFF like this is my work’s value now?

As a Lahori we just eat but we have famous spots like dha and gulberg but I cant seem to find the common spot or anything here i have been roaming in the red and blue zone Ig its called for a whole day i barely found anything to do.. can someone give me a little Islamabad guide on what to do in which areas and like which areas should i visit? I only have 3 days

Last time I searched by myself, i found nice hotels but when i went there in person they were in really weird areas and different from images i saw online.

Suggest good rest houses and hotels and tell me what should be my budget for a clean hotel/rest house room.

Growing up, I was always an arts kid, but I decided to go to design school. During my last semester, I realized that I hated it. I promised myself I would never touch design again and would switch careers.
But then I got a really good job offer to work as a creative director 🫣, and I took it. I was a fresh graduate, and the job market was in shambles, so I thought, good money I should take the offer.

The problem was that I was already burnt out, and I started a job that required me to do the exact tasks I hated doing in university. I was good at it, though, so I kept going. My job is also really flexible, but every time I had free time to work on my own hobbies, I just physically couldn’t.
I tried to paint, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I felt so tired and depressed every time I tried to get back into the activities I used to love. But when it came to work, I was completely fine no tiredness, nothing.

Now I’m thinking about leaving my job and going back to making art: painting, illustrating books, and creating digital art. But it’s a huge risk in today’s world to leave a secure job to follow your dreams, especially when my job is something that many people would love to have.

What should I do? Is it worth giving it a shot? 🤔
At this point, I’m so burnt out that I’m quitting in a few months no matter what.
Maybe I should take a little break. If I don’t take a break in my 20s, then when will I?

How do I go back to making art when I feel like I physically can’t?
Am I traumatized because of design school?

My biggest question is, are artists still valued in today’s world?

I get the concept of having a housewife/husband like yk it actually sounds bomb to me now,
I come home so tired and dont have time to cook or clean at all and paying maids for everything is too expensive,

only if i had a husband at home managing all this for free and i would just give him his monthly pocket money for of 40k
oh BOY LIFE would be rainbows and sunshine omg 😭where do i find a house husband

Ok so I had some unrestricted access to facebook back in 2014 and I posted pictures of me and my cousins and forgot the password. Now that I am older, these pictures are WEIRD AS HELL to me and should’ve been removed by facebook.. i reported the account a thousand times and I reported these pictures but facebook won’t remove them at all and it won’t remove the account too.

What do i do in this situation?

I am using c.ai after a LONGGGG time and any roleplay i join is really bland.. the bots are just not engaging anymore. Hasn’t ai like advanced in 2026 so how did this app get so bad?

Im like not depressed or anything but everyday tasks like eating n taking care of myself are so hard. Normal things people do on auto pilot are like really energy consuming for me because i simply do not have motivation to do anything at all. I have all the resources in life to thrive and be talented (artistically) but I cant for the love of god use it. I only do the basic survival stuff. I know that i have it in me to do 10x more but i just don’t want to. Anyone else feels this way?

I have proven myself multiple times in past that I can achieve any goal i want if i work hard enough but now I just don’t want to even if I have so many privileges that only few people have in life.
Please let me know how to get my motivation back.

I got a good job even in my most unmotivated times and then got even better offers but my brain simply just did not let me pursue them because i was lazy and lost will to do anything. My personal life doesn’t effect my work so that confuses me even more that why am i selective about this.
