Fortune Favours the Brave
3 months ago
Some of you may know that I was recently laid off from my comfy job.
It sucked, I was completely lost. I was flailing in every direction, trying to hold on to the past.
Sleepless nights, thinking about the future.
I immediately started applying for jobs... but gave up after the first interview.
“Is this the life I want to pursue?”
It was okay, but not fulfilling. There was this empty feeling I had learned to repress.
“What would you love to do, even if the pay wasn’t good?”
The answer was ART. Path I was always told I can't pursue.
So I did what others said was right.
They were adults, they must’ve known better. And just like that, my life passed me by.
Im in my late 20s, Im young, but time won't wait for me and I don’t want to wake up one day regretting I didn’t have the courage to take life into my own hands.
That’s why I’ve been more active lately. I’m going all in, and yes, furry art is what I’m focusing on.
When my resources run out, I’ll gather them again and go all in once more.
I don’t want a comfortable life.
I want a fulfilling one, no matter how long or short it may be.
I’m anxious and scared. I cry a lot.
But this is what I’m choosing.
If you made it this far, all I ask is a few kind words. It would help, but I’m not depending on it. I’m doing this anyway.

I went self-employed in 2014. I don't make much money. I watch other people complain about their jobs and workplaces. I'm very fulfilled!

I'm hoping to find it myself. This is something no money can buy 🙏

The life of a furry artist isn't always easy and doesn't necessarily pay well, but as someone who has mostly been writing for the last two years, I can say it's very satisfying. I wish you the very best of luck with your efforts to make a living from your craft.

Thanks a lot! I'm really glad to hear you're finding fulfillment in your writing. At the end of the day, passion isn’t something you can measure in money, and I totally get that. Wishing you all the best too! 🫶
